UFC 290 Odds – Volkanovski vs Rodriguez: Moneyline

Across the board, we've got the champ sitting pretty as the favorite for the marquee bout this weekend. Now, these UFC odds are only leaning this hard toward the champ because Volkanovski is an absolute beast. These numbers are not a knock on Rodriguez at all.

The challenger is very ready and impossible to count out. With a style that's impossible to predict/train for and offensive ability anywhere, Yair can very well shock the world this weekend.

UFC 290 Odds – Volkanovski vs Rodriguez: Method Of Victory

The Volkanovski vs Rodriguez odds favor a decision win for the champion. However, betting on a finish isn't exactly a bad bet. Both fighters are coming to scrap come Saturday night.

Volkanovski is coming off of a controversial loss at lightweight and Yair is finally getting the chance to become an undisputed champion. But, with the champ being the favorite, him winning by KO/TKO is the most likely finish per these numbers.

UFC 290 Odds – Volkanovski vs Rodriguez: Round To Win

As the fight drags out, the odds of a finish decrescendo. The odds of Yair getting the win in the opening round are his best odds for a finish, but the number is similar to Volkanovski getting the job done in round four.

The UFC 290 odds show that a first round win for Volk is sitting around the neighborhood of +450. Not bad, especially for this high-caliber of a fight. This should be a fun one!

Those are some of the more interesting UFC 290: Volkanovski vs Rodriguez odds and high-stakes fights on this card. We'll delve a bit more into these to give you a bit more insight as to why the UFC 290 betting odds are looking this way and what makes that matches so fun.

Brandon Moreno vs Alexandre Pantoja

Moreno, the current champion, has come a long way to get the title in the first place, let alone winning it for a second time. A big part of his path to gold was his two fights with Alexandre Pantoja. Pantoja got the better of Moreno twice in the past, but this is an entirely different fight now.

Moreno has really come into his own and is one of the best, most exciting flyweights of all time. He's got a long way to go to earn “GOAT” status, but beating Alexandre will add some merit to his case.

Bo Nickal vs Val Woodburn

This is so interesting. Let us give you a quick rundown: Bo Nickal is a very good wrestler that collects accolades like they're nothing. He made the move to MMA last year and won his professional debut in just over thirty-seconds. He's now 4-0 with four first-round finishes. His original UFC 290 opponent, Tresean Gore, had to pull out and in comes UFC newcomer, Val Woodburn.

Woodburn is also undefeated; he boasts a 7-0 record with 5 wins by KO/TKO. He's won his last two fights via decision. Moreover, and not to poke holes, the combined record of the opponents Woodburn has finished is 10-19. So, it's not hard to see why Nickal is the biggest favorite in UFC history here, but Woodburn has a puncher's chance to shock the world.
