Monitoring The Betting Odds Movement For UFC Fight Island 3

• Paul Craig has become a heavy favorite after his and Gadzhimurad Antigulov’s heated media day weigh in.
• Alex Oliveira saw the most action against him, as his odds dropped from to -170 to -145 in less than a week.

YAS ISLAND, Abu Dhabi – In the third and final UFC Fight Night taking place at Yas Island, UFC bettors are given plenty of action heading into Saturday’s event.

With a packed main card, bettors have six fights to bet on, while the undercard also gives those fanatics even more UFC betting action.

The main event is between Robert Whittaker and Darren Till, while the co-main event features a longtime rivalry in Mauricio Rua and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

While most of the odds have stayed relatively in place, some of the largest movements surround the main event and early matches.

Sitting at -116 odds immediately after UFC Fight Night: Figueiredo vs. Benavidez 2 ended, Whittaker has become a much stronger favorite, sporting -135 odds.

On last week’s oddsboard, Sobotta was a much larger underdog (+145), but now gives those who are supporting Oliveira a cheaper opportunity to win. Likewise, the former standard odds battle between Craig and Antigulov watched nearly all of the money float into Craig’s corner after the intense weight in, giving Antigulov a true underdog status.

Rodriguez has become a larger favorite, moving from -160 to -188, but odds on her to win inside the distance +275 has also been seeing some major action.

As for Rua and Gustafsson, their heavily favored odds did retract slightly, but their favorite status at legal sports betting sites was never in doubt, only moving minutely.

While the odds are certainly in flux on the day of Fight Night 174, bettors will have plenty of time to get in their action and even live bet during the event. The main card begins around 8:00 p.m. EST and will feature a handful of fights ending around 11:30 p.m. EST.
