Leon Edwards opens as heavy favorite over Nate Diaz ahead of UFC 262

Leon Edwards could make it nine straight wins when he meets Nate Diaz at UFC 262.

The top welterweight contender has been installed as a heavy favorite by the oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag for his upcoming co-main event bout with Diaz on May 15 at Toyota Center in Houston, with Edwards currently at -350.

That means bettors will have to wager $350 on Edwards to net $100 in winnings. On the other side, Diaz is a +285 underdog, so a $100 bet wins $285.

Edwards (18-3, 1 NC) recently returned to action against Belal Muhammad in the main event of a UFC Vegas show on March 13.
