As we step into fight week, MMA News has the betting odds for UFC 274: Oliveira vs. Gaethje.
This Saturday, UFC 274: Oliveira vs. Gaethje takes place from The Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The UFC 274 main event will see a lightweight title fight between lightweight champion Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethje. The co-main event features Rose Namajunas defending her strawweight championship against Carla Esparza. And of course, we have Michael Chandler and Tony Ferguson paired against one another in their 2022 debuts.
Unlike his first title defense against Dustin Poirier, Oliveira will not have the opportunity to say he “silenced the doubters” this time. That narrative will carry much less weight now that he is the betting favorite coming into his title defense against Justin Gaethje.
This is familiar territory for Justin Gaethje, who was also the underdog coming into his first title shot against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 254. Gaethje lost via submission that night, but this Saturday, he will try to leave those lessons in the past by winning his first UFC championship in his home state of Arizona.
Also, despite losing to Esparza seven years ago, Namajunas sits as a moderately small favorite over “The Cookie Monster.” Both fighters have had many fights in the Octagon since their initial encounter eight years ago.
The sportsbooks are not expecting Tony Ferguson to get back in the win column, as Michael Chandler is currently the largest betting favorite on the card at -400. Chandler will enter this fight as the biggest favorite on the card. The general consensus is that Ferguson has not looked to be the same fighter that he used to be, which has caused the betting lines to strongly favor “Iron Mike.”
In other action on the main card, Ovince Saint Preux is currently placed as a -325 favorite over Mauricio Rua. At UFC Fight Night 56 in 2014, it was Saint Preux’s striking that got it done against the former champion Rua, with Saint Preux winning via first-round knockout. Saint Preux has picked up eight UFC wins since then, and they all no doubt played a factor in him being the favorite against the 40-year-old Rua.
Also, kicking off the main card, Donald Cerrone will enter as the favorite in what may be his final UFC fight when he takes on Joe Lauzon. Cerrone will enter as a -167 favorite, with the comeback of Joe Lauzon being +147.
