The sportsbooks have VanZant listed as a -150 betting favorite (bet $150 to win $100) while Hart is a +120 betting underdog (bet $100 to win $120). Clearly, there is no love lost between these two and this should be a very entertaining matchup. VanZant has had a lot of critics in the lead-up to this fight so she has a lot to prove here, while for Hart she will look to play spoiler and take out the VanZant hype train.

On the undercard, former UFC middleweight Chris Leben takes on Quentin Henry in a heavyweight bout. The former UFC fighter Leben weighed in at 204.6lbs for the fight, while Henry weighed in at 205.2lbs.
