When the odds were set, Adesanya emerged as a -120 favorite, giving him an implied probability of 54.55 percent to emerge victorious once again. In simpler terms, a $100 wager on Adesanya at these odds would result in a payout of $183.33. On the flip side, a $100 bet on Strickland at +100 odds would return $200.
Here’s a glimpse of the odds:
- Sean Strickland +100
- Israel Adesanya -120
The prospect of a rematch is still uncertain, following Strickland’s convincing five-round decision win over Adesanya. UFC President Dana White has expressed his inclination toward an immediate rematch, but there’s another contender waiting in the wings. Dricus Du Plessis, the No. 1 contender, earned his spot after defeating Robert Whittaker at UFC 290 this past July.
As we look back on the fight, Strickland entered the main event with an impressive track record of seven wins in his last nine fights. In contrast, Adesanya was aiming to secure his first title defense in his second reign as the UFC middleweight champion. During his initial reign, Adesanya successfully defended the title five consecutive times.
The stage is set for a potentially thrilling rematch that could either solidify Adesanya’s dominance or establish Strickland as a true force in the middleweight division. Keep an eye out for further developments as the MMA world eagerly awaits the verdict on this anticipated showdown.
