UFC 274 Fight Card, Odds

The odds are close for UFC 274. As of writing, Caesars Sportsbook has Oliveira as the slight favorite with money line odds of -170, and Gaethje with +150. Even Drake is getting in on the action, putting a $550,000 bet on Gaethje to win (and the rapper stands to make a big payday with a win too).

And it’s the same story with Namajunas vs. Esparza: Caesars has Esparza as the underdog with +180 and Namajunas as the favorite with -210.

Both title fights have UFC fans counting the hours till Saturday’s event. Oliveira has racked up a record-breaking 15 submissions over his UFC career, knocking out Chandler to take the belt last year and retaining it by choking-out Dustin Poirier in December. But Gaethje has a fantastic record and ferocious power that could be enough to take Oliveira’s belt.

The strawweight fight between Namajunas and Esparza, meantime, re-ignites a competition that started eight years ago after the two clashed in The Ultimate Fighter. Esparza won that fight, but Namajunas has gone on to become the reigning champ after defeating some of the division’s best fighters. Like Oliveira vs. Gaethje, this is a hard one to call.

Other than the two title fights, there’s still more than enough excitement happening in the UFC 274 prelims. Michael Chandler is set to duke it out with Tony Ferguson, Ryan Bader is taking on Cheick Kongo, and Macy Chiasson will face Norma Dumont, among other matchups.

Before tonight’s event, get the UFC 274 PPV stream through ESPN+ to catch all the fights.
