Dricus du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya betting odds
Adesanya is listed as a -125 favorite, meaning a bettor would have to wager $125 to win $100. However, if the Dricus du Plessis side is considered at +105, a $100 bet would net $105. However, since the promotion has not finalized the fight, there is little action on the fight, and Adesanya has yet to decide whether or not a return to the UFC makes the most logical sense.
Adesanya held the middleweight title for over six years, securing victories against Robert Whittaker, Marvin Vettori, Alex Pereira, and Paulo Costa. Du Plessis earned a title shot with a KO against Whittaker, and after recovering from an injury, finally got his would-be successful triumph at championship gold.
If the bout materialized, it would be du Plessis’ first title defense and culminate a rivalry brewing for a better part of a year and a half. The promotion has yet to announce a main event for UFC 300 on April 13, which would make the matchup a potentially perfect capstone to a historic UFC event.
The fights are scheduled at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev., as the card is still being built.
