UFC 193 odds at BookMaker.eu
Women’s Bantamweight Championship
Ronda Rousey -1625
Holly Holm +948
PICK: Rousey to win by armbar in R2
It’s hard to picture any women’s bantamweight ever putting Rousey in real trouble. In terms of athleticism, strength, speed and skill, Ronda is a generation ahead of the competition. It’s almost unfair. Holm’s background as a former world champion boxer is impressive, and her work inside the cage has been good - but not nearly good enough to inspire any faith in her actually winning.
Women’s Strawweight Championship
Joanna Jedrzejczyk -2000
Valerie Letourneau +900
PICK: Jedrzejczyk to win by TKO in R4
As good as Rousey is, women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk is an even bigger favorite in her title defense against French-Canadian Valerie Letourneau. Like Rousey, the Polish champion is miles ahead of the rest of the competition at 115 pounds. Letourneau is about to find out why Jedrzejczyk can be considered one of the best strikers in the entire UFC.
Heavyweights
Antonio Silva +195
Mark Hunt -230
PICK: Hunt to win by UD
If you haven’t seen their first match, do yourself a favor and google it now. That should get you all sorts of hyped up for their second go-round, which projects to be a bloody, all-out slugfest. Both men prefer to fight on the feet, and that tilts the odds in Hunt’s favor. His background as a former K-1 champion and iron chin should carry him to victory.
Middleweights
Uriah Hall -120
Robert Whittaker -110
PICK: Hall by split decision
While Hall is one of the most enigmatic talents at 185, it’s hard to think he won’t land one of his trademark gamechanger strikes over the course of three rounds. Whittaker is a good prospect at just 24-years old, but he’s never faced anyone as explosive as Hall. But there’s always a good possibility that Hall will sit on his heels for extended portions of the fight, allowing Whittaker to score some points with the judges based on his aggression alone.
Heavyweights
Jared Rosholt +105
Stefan Struve -135
PICK: Rosholt by UD
Both Rosholt and Struve are fringe top-10 heavyweights with glaring flaws that limits their ceilings. At most, they can be upper echelon gatekeepers - which is plenty respectable. Struve is famously seven feet tall with a glass chin, and Rosholt is savvy enough to make sure he never gets comfortable at range.
