We’re less than two weeks away from one of the biggest cards of the year, UFC 194. Because of the hype surrounding the event, BookMaker has had odds posted for the card for months now. Let’s check in to assess any line movement since our last update, which took place in late September.
UFC 194 odds at BookMaker.eu
MAIN EVENT: Featherweight Championship
JOSE ALDO +143
CONOR MCGREGOR -165
Over/under 2.5 rounds, over -115, under -105
In the span of two months, McGregor has shifted from -175 to -165, with Aldo shifting two points from +145. It seems as the action is pretty even between the two, with slightly more bets coming in on Aldo to retain the championship over Conor McGregor.
CO-MAIN EVENT: Middleweight Championship
CHRIS WEIDMAN -175
LUKE ROCKHOLD +145
Over/under 3.5 rounds, over -105, under -115
Weidman slides further into chalk territory, as he opened at -165. Rockhold goes up five points from +140. As good as Rockhold has been, it seems more and more bettors are starting to recall how scary Weidman can be. He has yet to lose a professional fight and has only gotten better each time out.
MIDDLEWEIGHTS
RONALDO SOUZA -170
YOEL ROMERO +145
Over/under 1.5 rounds, over -170, under +150
Minimal movement here, with Souza shifting from -167 to -170. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen “Jacare” in action, but this middleweight title eliminator will lock up his long awaited shot at the title. I’d expect Souza to close around -180.
WOMEN’S STRAWWEIGHTS
MICHELLE WATERSON +120
TECIA TORRES -150
Over/under 2.5 rounds, over -280, under +240
It seems as if action on Waterson is driving her price to go up - her money line has moved 13 points from +133. Torres is slightly more expensive as well, from -147 to -150. Waterson’s popularity might drive her price further into chalk territory. However, “The Karate Hottie” will be at a size disadvantage as she move up a weight class for her UFC debut.
LIGHTWEIGHTS
MAX HOLLOWAY -401
JEREMY STEPHENS +295
Over/under 2.5 rounds, over -160, under +140
Holloway is now an even bigger favorite, as he was formerly at -375 a few months ago. Stephens gets even cheaper from his original +285 price tag. Holloway is too good of a prospect not to love, and bettors are acting accordingly.
WELTERWEIGHTS
DEMIAN MAIA -145
GUNNAR NELSON +115
Over/under 2.5 rounds, over -200, under +170
The money lines in this fight have been stagnant, with no movement for each fighter. I’d expect Maia, a proven contender, to get more expensive closer to fight night. Even at 38, he’s still one of the toughest outs in the division and his world-class BJJ credentials make him a tough matchup for grappling specialist like Gunnar Nelson.
