are out and they’ve already shifted slightly.
Sharabutdin Magomedov (17-1) is scheduled to face Israel Adesanya (24-6) in the main event of UFC Saudi Arabia on Dec. 5 at ANB Arena in Riyadh. The five-round co-headliner pits former title challenger Ian Garry (17-2) against former Bellator champion Yaroslav Amosov (30-1).
According to BetOnline Sports and Casino, Adesanya opened as a -205 favorite. However, money has poured in for Magomedov, shifting the odds significantly. Adesanya is now a -150 favorite, while Magomedov is a +130 underdog.
Adesanya has dropped four straight since losing the middleweight title to Sean Strickland in 2023. Meanwhile, “Shara Bullet” is coming off decision wins over Marc-Andre Barriault and Michel Pereira following his lone professional loss to Michael Page last year.
In the co-main event, Garry opened as a -185 favorite when the matchup was announced on Saturday. However, the odds have already shifted, with Garry now a -145 favorite against Amosov, a +125 underdog.
