UFC 261 Odds
Kamaru Usman -350
Jorge Masvidal +285
Usman opened as a -350 betting favorite, meaning a $350 bet would win you $100. Masvidal, meanwhile, opened at +285 for the rematch. A $100 bet on “Gamebred” would win you $285. It’s worth noting that Masvidal closed at -290 for their first fight at UFC 251 last summer, with Masvidal closing at +210 for that fight. Usman won a unanimous decision in the pair’s first encounter by utilizing his wrestling advantage in the fight. The champion will likely look to use his grappling once again against the striker Masvidal.
With the odds for the Masvidal vs. Usman 2 now officially released, “Gamebred” took to his social media to crack a joke and suggest that Usman will be looking to shoot for a takedown within the first two minutes of the fight. Masvidal asked his fans what they should set the over/under at for the amount of time Usman needs to take that first shot.
