LAS VEGAS – Bo Nickal doesn’t see any flaws in the betting odds going into his UFC 290 showdown with short-notice promotional newcomer Val Woodburn.
After Tresean Gore withdrew from Saturday’s event on fight week due to injury, Nickal (4-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) received a replacement opponent in Woodburn (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who he now meets in a middleweight bout at T-Mobile Arena. The fight opens the pay-per-view main card, which follows prelims on ABC, ESPN and ESPN+.
Although Woodburn is undefeated as well, oddsmakers aren’t giving him a chance. Nickal opened as a -2500 favorite, which represents the most significant line in the history of the UFC.
