The most popular fight in lightweight history takes place this Saturday (06), in Las Vegas. After so many fights, provocations and promises, Khabib Nurmagomedov ee Conor McGregor step into the octagon to settle differences in the main fight of UFC 229. With tempers so high, bookmakers are busy for the most anticipated fight of the year.
Current lightweight champion, Khabib has a slight advantage in the odds. According to oddsshark, for every R$10 bet on the Russian, in case of a successful belt defense, the bettor earns R$16,20. For those who want to place their chips on McGregor, betting the same amount, the profit would be R$23.
In the second most important fight of UFC 229, Tony Ferguson is a favorite to face Anthony Pettis. In the duel between former champions of the division, 'El Cucuy' has a very favorable price on the stock market. According to Oddsshark odds, Among all the fights on the main card, this is the one that presents the most prominent favoritism for one of the parties. The expectation is for a triumph for Ferguson, who will pay R$1,28 for each real bet. Viewed as an underdog, Pettis's victory is priced at R$3,65/R$1,00.
In the clash between Derrick Lewis e Alexander Volkov, the numbers of oddsshark are in favor of the Russian giant, which is considered the favorite. Volkov is undefeated since 2015, with six fights fought in that period. In the most recent one, he knocked out the former champion Fabricio Werdum No. UFC London. Lewis returned from retirement in February to knock out Marcin tybura, and in the next fight, he won Francis Ngannou by unanimous decision. If the North American reaches his third consecutive victory, the bet will yield 150%, slightly less than triple the odds for Volkov's victory, which is R$1,54/R$1,00.
