It took just one day for bookmakers to release the odds for the hypothetical catchweight bout between Anderson Silva and Conor McGregor after both men agreed to the matchup on Thursday.
Oddsmakers Bovada have Silva, the former UFC middleweight champion, listed as the -125 favorite while McGregor, the former UFC lightweight and featherweight titleholder, is listed as the slight underdog at -105. ‘A $100 bet would net $80 for Silva and $95.20 for McGregor’, per MMA Fighting.
Silva, who turned 45 last month, is the oldest fighter on the UFC roster and just 1-6 (1 NC) in his last eight fights.
