According to report, Israel regained the 185-pound title barely five months after losing it to Pereira, who had previously defeated him twice in kickboxing.
Following Israel’s victory, Drake received a $500,000 return on his bet on Adesanya’s victory as well as a $400,000 bet for him to win via knockout.
