The oddsmakers did not wait long to give odds for a potential match between Conor McGregor (22-4) and Kamaru Usman (16-1).
Former double champion McGregor and current welterweight king Usman have been a hot topic in MMA circles in recent days.
Their story started after Jorge Masvidal, otherwise, the first favorite for Usman’s next challenger decided to call Nate Diaz for a rematch. With that, ‘Gamebred’ opened the option for someone else to get a chance to attack the welterweight title, and Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz immediately jumped in and offered the match to McGregor:
It looks like #1 contender wants to fight Nate Diaz now . Good for him @TheNotoriousMMA hey you want a title shot ? Come to daddy @USMAN84kg will give you one and he promise first 2 rounds without takedowns only slaps 😂

Although the UFC has not yet commented on this fight, oddsmakers have taken the first steps, so looking at their offers, it can be seen that Usman would be a big favorite in this duel.
Namely, the betting line for Kamarua ranges from -330 to -220, while the one for the famous Irishman ranges from +185 to a tempting +285.
Do you agree with the oddsmakers or are you surprised by such odds?
