UFC 259 odds: Main card
The betting lines for an entire UFC card are released in full early during fight week. Las Vegas odds are typical not released until a bout has been officially confirmed, as to avoid the early money going on a line that was set incorrectly and losing profits. Online sportsbook Bovada has released UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs Lewis odds with Blaydes coming in as a huge -450 favorite and Lewis listed as a +325 underdog. This means you would have to wager $450 to profit $100 on a Blaydes victory while a $100 bet on a Lewis win would profit you $325.
