With UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones being widely considered the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world, you would think his betting odds in any fight would be lopsided.
Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier odds not too far apart
At UFC 182, Jones clashes with number one contender Daniel Cormier in the evening’s main event. Jones does lead the way, as a -185 favorite, with Cormier sitting close to +150. These are the closest odds in a “Bones” fight, since his 2011 battle with Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, which was also the night that he claimed the 205-pound gold.
One month after UFC 182, two NFL teams will embark on the University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Arizona for Super Bowl XLIX. So if the odds for the Jones vs. Cormier main event are too close for comfort, then why not try your hand at some Super Bowl betting?
Super Bowl XLIX is the 49th edition of the Super Bowl and the 45th modern era NFL championship game. It takes place on February 1, which is the same weekend as UFC 183: Silva vs. Diaz.
