UFC 291 Odds: The Best Poirier vs Gaethje Odds

On this, one of the best UFC cards we’ve ever seen put together and hold up(fingers crossed), we’ve ran through all of the fun and important numbers to give you a good base to potentially start your bets off of for this weekend. A great night of fights will always be entertaining, but things really become nail-biters when I bet my lunch money for tomorrow on a certain fighter. Not saying you should do that, but if you need more insight for your bets, we’ve got you covered on some important UFC odds.

Poirier vs Gaethje – Moneyline

Ever-so-slightly, we’ve got the pundits pulling toward Poirier to take the win come Saturday night. The Poirier vs Gathje odds are super close in almost every way imaginable, though.

Justin Gaethje is sitting as a +125 underdog throughout all of the bookies presented here.

UFC Odds – Poirier vs Gaethje Method of Victory

The biggest number that jumps off of the page for the UFC 291 odds is for Justin Gaethje hanging out at +2000 to get a submission win. Though the wrestling accolades are there, subbing just isn’t his style.

The odds of this fight going to decision aren’t as unlikely as one would expect. Both Gaethje and Poirier have a penchant for a finish, and both are very willing to go out on their shield, but with how matured both fighters are now, this could go all 25-minutes. A finish is more likely, but don’t be surprised.

Poirier vs Gaethje Round to Win Odds

As per usual, the UFC odds of a finish just get more and more unlikely as the fight plays out. Per these numbers, the most likely outcome, in terms of a finish, are for Poirier to get a first-round KO/TKO.

This fight is much different than their first meeting back in 2018 where Poirier won via fourth-round TKO; Gaethje has grown so much since then, and so has Dustin.

A card stacked from top to bottom very well, we’ve got to cover some more of the UFC 291 betting odds before we wrap up here. For our co-main event, we’ve got a pick ’em fight, meaning the odds are just a coin toss at this point. This will be Alex Pereira’s debut as a UFC light heavyweight and his first fight back since losing to Israel Adesanya.

He’s got no easy task in front of him as he’ll take on the former light heavyweight champion, Jan Błachowicz. And before that, you guessed it, more incredible fights. Let’s look at the numbers.

• Alex Pereira (-110) vs Jan Błachowicz (-110)
• Michel Pereira (+125) vs Stephen Thompson (-150)
• Tony Ferguson (+280) vs Bobby Green(-375)

A lot of bangers in the works! As of now, Tony Ferguson is the biggest betting underdog on the card; things have not gone his way as of late, but he’s also been taking on the best of the best for years now. Bobby Green is as game as they come, but he’s a refreshing step back from the Dariush’s, the Oliveira’s and the Chandler’s of the division.

The UFC 291 betting odds may not have a lot of faith in ‘El Cucuy, but Tony and his fan base believe in him so much. This is certainly one of the more interesting fights on the card.
