The UFC 285 main event features the return of former longtime 205-pound champion Jon Jones who will fight Cyril Gane for the vacant UFC heavyweight title. Public Backing Jon Jones Despite Inactivity Here’s the official poster for Jon Jones vs. However, Shevchenko could easily exploit her 64% takedown defense and drag the fight to the ground. She recently talked about her Mexican boxing as her biggest weapon. Grasso has won four straight bouts and has displayed some of the best boxing in the women’s game during that span. Looking at Grasso’s odds, she opened at +400 which was the shortest of any Shevchenko opponent since Joanna Jedrzejczyk hit the betting boards at +250 when Valentina won the belt at UFC 231 in 2018. It was supposed to be a routine title defense for the champion but she ended up fighting for her life. Shevchenko opened as a -600 favorite against Santos and closed at the -800 to -500 odds range. But perhaps the reason why she is winning the battle of the betting slips is that Shevchenko is now perceived to be vulnerable after barely beating Talia Santos in her most recent bout. She is the first Mexican woman to fight for a UFC title and there is a potential for a massive payout with her as a heavy underdog. It’s understandable why the public loves Alexa Grasso.

Pickett meanwhile has jumped from +900 to +1000. Those odds have ballooned to -2000 entering fight week. Nickal opened at -1800 odds against a perceived lamb-to-be-slaughtered Jamie Pickett.
