Jon “Bones” Jones vs. Dominick “The Devastator” Reyes battling for the light heavyweight title highlights an exciting UFC 247 fight card this weekend. If you’re relying on the oddsmakers to hint how this fight should play out, BetMGM sportsbook’s oddsmakers have Jones as the dominate early favorite.
UFC 247 is scheduled for Saturday, February 8, at 10 p.m. EST at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. UFC 247’s fight card will be streamed on ESPN+.
Jones, 24-1-0 with 1NC, enters as the heavy-odds favorite, sporting a very chalky -556 line at BetMGM sportsbook. Reyes, the underdog with an undefeated 11-0-0 record, has a +350 line. The oddsmakers have listed a tie at +5000.
New to sports betting? With -556 odds, a $100 wager on Jones to win outright profits just $17.99 with a Jones victory over Reyes. Meanwhile, that same $100 wager on Reyes would profit $350 with an upset victory during UFC 247. Should a tie happen – which would be a massive shock – a $100 wager there would profit $5,000.
