‘Cyborg’, 31, is set to face Lina Landsberg in a 140 pound catchweight bout at UFC Fight Night 95 on September 24. Oddsmakers have placed the former Strikeforce woman’s featherweight champion and current Invicta champ as a massive -1200 favorite in comparison to Lansberg (6-1), who sits as a sizeable underdog at -660, according to MMAOddsBreaker.com.

In simpler terms, a $100 bet on ‘Cyborg’ would net you a paltry $8.33. Meanwhile, a $100 bet on her opponent would net a $660 profit.

The last time ‘Cyborg’ was an underdog was against Shayna Baszler back in 2008, and has remained a betting favorite ever since.

‘Cyborg’ (16-1), finally made her octagon debut at UFC 198 where she obliterated Leslie Smith in a little over a minute into the first round. 14 of ‘Cyborg’s’ victories have come by way of knockout.

Lansberg, 34, is also on an impressive win streak and hasn’t lost a fight since her pro debut back in 2012.

UFC Fight Night 95 takes place at the Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in Brasilia, Brazil and will air on Fox Sports 1 while the prelims take place on UFC Fight Pass.

‘Cyborg’ vs Lansberg is the headlining bout, while former bantamweight champion Renan Barao takes on Phillipe Nover in the co-main event.
