Khabib Nurmagomedov opens as 5-to-1 betting favorite over Max Holloway at UFC 223

[La Paix]

Max Holloway may have earned fans’ respect by stepping in on short notice at UFC 223, but the bookmakers didn’t share in the enthusiasm.

MMA oddsmaker Nick Kalikas opened Khabib Nurmagomedov as a -505 favorite, implying “The Eagle” has an 83.5 percent probability of victory in the UFC 223 headliner. Holloway stands at +365 as the underdog.

At those odds, a winning $100 bet on Nurmagomedov would result in a net profit of $19.80. A winning $100 bet on Holloway, meanwhile, would net a profit of $365.

Don't encourage him you waste money bud

How much for Khabib to get injured is the real money maker.

He and TQN have made some good bets on massive underdogs in the past and won. It makes watching the fights so much more exciting.

Also there's been much bigger upsets in MMA, ya never know!

if u wanna combo play that u should put money on khabib missing weight and Conor/Lobov being called in and slips and get hurt on the scale.

 

[ShakaSway]

This wasn’t a joke? This is happening? Well shit.

The circumstances make this a VERY unlikely for a upset... Max got offered more money than ever and it's in a no lose situation.. I'm just saying khabib will hurt max

Or Khabib to miss weight

I think it's only gonna narrow between now and Saturday, so the earlier you put money on Max the better.

 

[silentsinger]

Even if Max had a full training camp for this he wouldn't have a hope. As much as I like him, and like an upset.

If it was 50-1 I would bet it....5-1 not worth the stretch

 

[Yossarian]

Max has a good chance.

thats what im wondering. imagine max makes weight and wins. jhe'd be two weight champion and then boom - conor vs max (both 145/55 champions)

It would suck from a promotional standpoint, simply because Conor whooped Max in the first fight even with a busted knee.

There are enough retards out there like @Sex Chicken and @ECC170 who think Kebab can actually beat Conor.

@ECC170 Just kidding you're not a retard bc you can beat me up.

@Sex Chicken eat a dick tard boy

Might be the only fight prediction we have ever agreed upon.

Dana must have passed a kidney when he found out being it's in NY. He worked for years for MMA to get sanctioned there.

 

[Dick Niaz]

Those are generous odds....should be 10-1

I’m going to give you 20 minutes to delete this and log off! And don’t just log off and then log back on, I’ll be able to tell!

Ronda vs Holm was around 10-1, 5-1 seems pretty decent IMO.
