Volkanovski Has to Defy the Odds Against Makhachev

Posted on January 19, 2023 by A. J. Riot

Only four fighters in the history of the UFC have held championship belts in two weight divisions. Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier, and Henry Cejudo have managed it in the men’s brand, while Amanda Nunes is the only female star to become a double champion.

UFC pound-for-pound number one Alexander Volkanovski is looking to add his name to that list when he steps up in weight to face lightweight champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 284 in Perth, Australia. It is billed as one of the biggest events in world sport in 2023.

Not only will Volkanovski be fighting a man who is bigger than him, but Makhachev is one of the most dangerous operators in UFC, as he has won his last five fights inside the distance. He forced a submission from Charles Oliveira to claim his world title last October at UFC 280.

The oddsmakers make Volkanovski the underdog in this fight. He is +260 with Bodog to prevail and cause an upset. Not only can fans get the best UFC odds with the sportsbook, but they can land up to $400 in welcome promotion when they open an account.

How to find the best odds for UFC 281

Posted on November 10, 2022 by A. J. Riot

Which industry has enjoyed as much success and attention as the iGaming and online sports betting industry in recent years? A sport itself – yes, it is hard to believe how MMA was fringe for so long considering it is shining so bright in its current heyday.

Well now they have an appetite for that too and it is perhaps thanks to the UFC brand – not the only mixed martial arts league of course but it seems to be where the toughest fighters flock to. With a fight every week, (and perhaps the exponentially increasing fame of Joe Rogan and friends) public appetite has been cultivated nicely.
