Deiveson Figueiredo (-300) vs. Brandon Moreno (+250)
Figueiredo comes in as the flyweight champion and is a heavy betting favorite over Moreno. A $10 bet on Figueiredo to win the fight would return a profit of just $3.33 with a victory. The same bet on Moreno would return a profit of $25 with an upset win.
Tony Ferguson (-185) vs. Charles Oliveira (+150)
Ferguson (26-4) is favored over Oliveira (29-8, 1 NC) in this lightweight bout. “El Cucuy” is coming off a loss to Justin Gaethje, while “Do Bronx” beat Kevin Lee at UFC Fight Night in mid-March.
Mackenzie Dern (-185) vs. Virna Jandiroba (+150)
Dern (9-1) is the slight favorite in a women’s strawweight fight against the more experienced Jandiroba (16-1). An upset by Jandiroba could fetch a profit of $15 on a $10 bet. Dern has an implied win probability of 64.91% and a victory nets a profit of $5.41 on a $10 bet.
Kevin Holland (-120) vs. Jacare Souza (+100)
The most tightly contested battle on the main card of UFC 256 sees Holland (20-5) enter as a very modest favorite against Souza (26-8, 1 NC) in a middleweight bout. Holland has won his last four fights, while Souza comes off back-to-back losses. Souza is an even-money underdog with a $10 bet fetching a profit of $10 with a victory.
Junior Dos Santos (+320) vs. Ciryl Gane (-400)
The main card opens with a lopsided heavyweight battle between Dos Santos (21-8) and Gane (6-0). Gane’s -400 odds to win the fight represent an implied win probability of 80% with a $10 bet returning just $2.50 in profit.
