Oddsmakers are expecting Magomed Ankalaev to leave UFC 282 as the new light heavyweight champion.
After Jiri Prochazka suffered a serious shoulder injury that forced him to relinquish UFC gold, the promotion set up a vacant title bout between Ankalaev and former champ Jan Blachowicz as the headliner for its final pay-per-view event of the year, which takes place Dec. 10 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
