Drake isn’t the only one betting big on Conor McGregor.
The Irish superstar returns in less than 24 more hours opposite Max Holloway in the UFC 329 main event, which will go down inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s a rematch 13 years in the making, but McGregor’s lengthy layoff and previously broken leg are definitely major obstacles in claiming another victory. When the bout was first announced, McGregor opened as a significant underdog.
Nowadays? The gap has closed quite a bit.
Tracking
the odds via FanDuel, for instance, saw McGregor as greater than a 3-1 underdog on the day of the fight announcement, as he swelled up to +340. Since then, money has steadily trickled in on “The Notorious,” who is currently closer to +180. Check out the chart below tracking the McGregor odds via BetOnline, originally posted by X user Clint MacLean of the DieHardMMA podcast.
Holloway, conversely, has dropped from a huge favorite (in the ballpark of -480) to a more moderate -220.
Given the record-breaking attention that Conor McGregor events routinely draw, it’s safe to assume a whole lot of people have a pretty penny resting on the fight outcome. Will anyone be joining the late money surge on McGregor, or has Holloway shifted into a position of being undervalued?
