If there's one thing Drake understands well, besides music, it's authenticity. And when the Canadian rapper was asked about his favorite UFC fighters, the answer was straightforward: Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor . In an interview on the 'Drizzmas' show, the rap star not only praised both of them, but also made it clear how much he respects the way they present themselves inside and outside the octagon.

“Nate is the most complete guy there is, the guy doesn't change for anything. The money, the victories, none of that affects who he really is,” said the rapper.
Drake also didn't fail to praise Conor McGregor . The Irishman, who for years has attracted worldwide attention for his aggressive fighting style and, of course, his personality, is another of the rapper's favorites. For the rapper, McGregor represents more than just a UFC champion, but also an example of overcoming adversity and an unmistakable style.
“I love Conor with all my heart,” Drake said.
The 'Drake Curse'
But it's not just the admiration for these sports figures that has drawn attention. Drake has also become the protagonist of a curious phenomenon known as the 'Drake curse'. After the rapper publicly shows support for a team or athlete, a series of misfortunes usually occur, which has generated a series of jokes on social media. Often, the 'curse' is associated with unexpected defeats or injuries.
