The opening betting odds in a pivotal battle of former UFC champions favors one side in a big way.
During Saturday's UFC Vegas 119 broadcast, it was officially announced that former middleweight ****** le holder Dricus du Plessis is set to return in his first fight since losing the belt to Khamzat Chimaev, and faces past welterweight champion Kamaru Usman in the main event of UFC Oklahoma City. The card takes place July 18 at the Paycom Center, and streams exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S.
According to BetOnline, du Plessis opens as a heavy favorite at -350, with the comeback on Usman at +285.
Based on those odds, it would require a $350 wager to get back $100 on du Plessis while a $100 bet on Usman returns $285 if he's successful as the underdog.
Du Plessis had a solid run as champion, successfully defending the ****** le against Sean Strickland and Israel Adesanya. "Stillknocks" was dominated in a lopsided decision against Chimaev at August's UFC 319 event where he lost the belt.
