Noche UFC Odds: The Champ Remains the Underdog

The Noche UFC odds are in and they're very interesting. Despite having just finished Valentina Shevchenko in her last fight, the current champion is still a slight underdog going into the rematch. That is fair; Shevchenko was starting to pull away with the fight, at least per the official scorecards, but it's MMA and it's never over until it's over.

Here, we'll go over the Grasso vs Shevchenko odds — everything you'll need to know, we've got just down below. The moneyline odds, the round props and method of victory will be included as we share the numbers from various bookies. So, whether you're in it to bet or just interested in the odds, we've got the numbers that are trying to paint the picture for this event.

Noche UFC Odds – The Best Grasso vs Shevchenko Odds

Who, when and how — the odds will answer what the betters and pundits and, really, the fanbase at large think of this weekend's main event. Shevchenko is slightly favored to win her belt back, but she's not the big favorite that she's used to being. Having been submitted in her last fight and arguably losing the fight before that, the odds aren't as heavy for ‘Bullet' as we're accustomed.

Whether it be a changing of the tides or Shevchenko redeeming herself lies in how things play out this weekend. The media is done, the scales have been hit and now, the only thing left to do is wait for the cage door to lock and for the referee to give the green light. In the mean time, let's look at these numbers and see what we're working with.

Not by much, but the majority of people have their money on the belt going back on Shevchenko's shoulder. Grasso is far from a huge underdog, but with how things have been going lately, it almost seems to be the favorable position to be the underdog in a title fight.

As you can see, the Grasso vs Shevchenko odds are not too heavy one way or another. This is nearly a coin toss.

UFC Odds – Grasso vs Shevchenko Method of Victory

So, we know who is favored to win, but how will they get it done? Of course, you never know until you know, you know? But, we can look at the stats and put together a good idea on paper of how things could go.

Both fighters are, per the numbers, most likely to win by decision. Not for a lack of finishing ability, but both halves of our main event are too durable and too talented to be confident in a finish. With that being said, it was Grasso that was able to stop Shevchenko for the first time since 2010. This win also couples as the first time Valentina has ever been submitted.

Grasso vs Shevchenko Round to Win Odds

Per usual, as the fight drags on, the less likely the numbers think we'll see a finish. However, it is very much worth noting that their last fight ended at the end of the fourth round and, given how tough both parties are here, the fight leaving the first round isn't a bad bet. But, and again, you never know.

If there was a first round stoppage, it's likely to be at the hands(or legs) of Shevchenko. After the first round, the numbers crescendo to some pretty unlikely numbers for a finish. So, if you're looking at Grasso by fifth round KO, then you'll have quite the payout hitting your wallet.
