UFC Betting Odds

Khabib Nurmagomedov -200
Georges St-Pierre +170

Nurmagomedov opened as a -200 betting favorite. That means you would have to bet $200 to win $100. St-Pierre opened as a +170 betting underdog. That means you would have to bet $100 to win $170.

Nurmagomedov (28-0) is the UFC lightweight champion and one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport right now. The 31-year-old Russian is a perfect 12-0 in the UFC and has defeated the likes of Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, Edson Barboza, and Rafael dos Anjos. Despite recently losing his father after an unsuccessful battle with COVID-19, he is next set to take on interim champion Justin Gaethje in a title unification bout in October.

St-Pierre (26-2) is the former UFC welterweight champion and the former UFC middleweight champion. The 39-year-old Canadian is one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time and overall has an incredible record of 21-2 in the UFC. He ended his MMA career in 2017 after defeating Michael Bisping at UFC 217 to win his second UFC belt. Overall, he is riding a 13-fight win streak, though he doesn’t have any plans on fighting again. He recently turned down a potential fight with UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

Who would you bet on at these odds, Khabib Nurmagomedov or Georges St-Pierre?
