With UFC226 coming up, it’s time we look at the odds to of some of the top fighter’s, and their chances to win! Read below.
Stipe Miocic (-265) vs. Daniel Cormier (+205)
35-year-old Stipe Miocic has had a tremendous fighting career. He has gone 18-2, including six wins in a row. His opposition has not yet figured out how to beat him. He is very aggressive, and he lands 52{b82e5e56a9812bad28ea5aefced1964b6e85658d6da818d3ac352b08d0d307d2} of his offensive strikes, more than the average fighter is able to do.
On the other side we have DanielCormier. The 39-year-old has gone an astounding 20-1 in his fighting career. His only loss came against Jon “Bones” Jones in 2015, but Jones has been busted many times now for PED’s, so against fighters who haven’t “cheated” he is technically undefeated. Yet, here is he, an underdog. He lands 50{b82e5e56a9812bad28ea5aefced1964b6e85658d6da818d3ac352b08d0d307d2} of his strikes.
One other note, many feel this could be the final fight we see in Stipe Miocic’s career. Chael Sonnen had some interesting quotes regarding his career:
” I’m not sure we see Daniel Cormier fight again. Interesting plot twist I just threw in there, isn’t it? So, he’s moved up to heavyweight. Let’s say he succeeds and he wins, he would then be the heavyweight champion.” – Chael Sonnen
PREDICTION: Stipe Miocic will leave with a win over Cormier, as he is just too good when he’s in the zone. It will be Cormier’s first real loss. We do not expect this to be as competitive of a fight as the UFC may want it to be. Miocic with a blowout win!
Max Holloway (-150) + vs. Brian Ortega (+120)
26-year-old Max Holloway has already fought 22 times, and in those matches, he has gone a very impressive 19-3. His last loss came all the way back in 2013, when he fought Conor McGregor. He is attempting to win a fourteenth consecutive fight. He lands 44{b82e5e56a9812bad28ea5aefced1964b6e85658d6da818d3ac352b08d0d307d2} of his strikes.
His opponent, 27-year-old Brian Ortega, has not lost a single match in his career. He has gone 14-0-0, with his last win coming against FrankieEdgar on March 3. He has only landed 32{b82e5e56a9812bad28ea5aefced1964b6e85658d6da818d3ac352b08d0d307d2} of his strikes, but has completed 86{b82e5e56a9812bad28ea5aefced1964b6e85658d6da818d3ac352b08d0d307d2} of standing strikes.
PREDICTION: Max Holloway will hand Brian Ortega the first loss of his career. He has some big fight experience, which will come into play in this fight. When you are placing your bets for this fight, go ahead and take the favorite Max Holloway!
Francis Ngannou (-380) vs. Derrick Lewis (+290)
31-year-old Francis Ngannou has gone 11-2 in his fighting career, coming off a loss against the headliner of the event, Stipe Miocic. He has landed just 32{b82e5e56a9812bad28ea5aefced1964b6e85658d6da818d3ac352b08d0d307d2} of his career strikes, somebody who has struggled to go on the offensive.
On the other side, is 33-year-old Derrick Lewis. He has gone 19-5 in his career, and has been known for his heart. He enters this fight off a win against MarcinTybura on March 18. He has landed 52{b82e5e56a9812bad28ea5aefced1964b6e85658d6da818d3ac352b08d0d307d2} of his strikes, and completed a number of big offensive moves.

The bigger man has opened as the favorite in the upcoming super fight between UFC champions Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier.
As officials announced on Friday, light-heavyweight champ Cormier (20-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) is returning to heavyweight to fight that division’s reigning titleholder – Miocic (18-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) – in a champ-vs.-champ super fight at UFC 226, which airs on pay-per-view on July 7 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Veteran MMA oddsmaker Joey Oddessa has opened “The Oddessa Line” for the fight with Miocic the favorite at -185 and Cormier the underdog at +150, he confirmed with MMAjunkie.
The means a winning $100 bet on Miocic would result in a net profit of $54.05 (with an implied win probability of 65 percent). A winning $100 bet on Cormier, meanwhile, would come with a profit of $150 (win probability 40 percent).

However, though his favorite status is due in part to Miocic’s weight advantage – he weighed in at 246 pounds for his recent UFC 220 headliner, and Cormier was 205 for the co-headliner – Oddessa sees a clear possible path to victory for the challenger.
“Anyone who has been around long enough knows I’ve always been partial to the wrestlers, particularly the guys who performed and excelled at higher levels and not just competed and participated on higher levels levels,” he told MMAjunkie. “And Dan Cormier is one of those guys who’s excelled.
“Weight is usually a huge factor, but ‘DC’s’ steamrolled over heavier guys than Stipe. … Now he’s facing arguably the best heavyweight fighter in the past 20 years. Cormier’s got all the talent in the room to prepare him for a fight where he has nothing to lose. So sure, he’s (a live underdog). ”
Plus, Cormier, who hasn’t been an underdog to anyone but Jon Jones since 2011, brings a skill set that Miocic has avoided in his recent matchups, which recently saw him set a UFC heavyweight-title-defense record.
“Interestingly enough, if you look at Stipe’s record, he has never fought a wrestler – ever,” Oddessa said. “If the version of Dan Cormier who just beat Volkan Oezdemir shows up against the version of Stipe Miocic who just beat Francis Ngannou, it’s going to be a tough night for the heavyweight champ.”
