Prime Picks: UFC 290 ‘Volkanovski vs. Rodriguez’

The Ultimate Fighting Championship crams a slew of entertaining and noteworthy matchups onto its International Fight Week event, in hopes of delivering for the masses that showed up in Las Vegas to take in the experience. While the fights generally seem scintillating, the betting lines are extremely skewed in the lion’s share of the pairings. Only three of 14 feature a favorite at -200 odds or less, and a record may be broken at night’s end in terms of minus odds. Join us as we navigate the slalom that is the lopsided UFC 290 event, where we try to play it safe in the headliner, pitch an underdog that might not be getting enough shine and present an all-Australian accumulator.
