BetOnline opens Petr Yan as a -250 favorite against Sean
O’Malley and Song Yadong, with Alexander Volkanovski +160 against
Justin Gaethje
BetOnline Sports has released odds for possible
future matchups involving both champions. Volkanovski is an
underdog against lightweight champion Justin
Gaethje, while a potential featherweight title defense against
Jean
Silva is priced nearly even. None of these matchups has been
announced.
Published opening odds list Volkanovski at -115 against Silva
(-105), while Gaethje is a -180 favorite against the two-time
featherweight champion (+160).
At bantamweight, Yan is favored in potential rematches against Song
and O’Malley. The Russian defeated Song by unanimous decision in
2024 and lost a controversial split decision to O’Malley in 2022.
“No Mercy” has indicated that he considers Song more deserving of a
title shot but will leave the choice to UFC matchmakers.
Yan opened as a -250 favorite against Song (+210). The supplied
odds also list Yan at -250 against O’Malley (+207).
