UFC 229 McGregor vs Khabib Betting
Conor McGregor has proven a lot of his doubters wrong in his career and he’s looking to defy the odds again on Saturday night when he steps into the cage in the UFC 229 main event against Khabib Nurmagomedov as an underdog. Oddsmakers originally opened with Nurmagomedov pegged as a -190 favourite (meaning you’d have to risk $190 to earn $100), but with betting support coming in on the underdog, the betting odds have shifted in McGregor’s favour. Still, Khabib remains the favourite at -150, while McGregor is at +125.
