UFC News: Last minute UFC 227 betting odds
What's the story?
The last-minute betting odds for UFC 227 are in, and things are not looking good for Cody Garbrandt. After months and months of being at TJ Dillashaw for a chance to challenge him in a rematch for the UFC Bantamweight Title, the former Champion finally got that very chance.
However, now, it appears that the odds are not in his favor, while at the same time, Henry Cejudo, Demetrious Johnson's opponent is facing even worse odds.
Thanks to Oddshark.com for the odds.
In case you didn't know...
The last time that the Dillashaw and Garbrandt faced each other, until the first round, it had appeared that Garbrandt was the runaway favorite. He had even knocked Dillashaw down at the close of the beginning round. No one could have predicted what happened later.
Dillashaw changed up his game entirely and went after Garbrandt with a vengeance. Instead of the strikes he had been relying on, he switched to kicks and halfway through the second round, caught him. Garbrandt went down, Dillashaw finished him and became the Champion.
The heart of the matter
For those who don't know, the lower the number, the more favored that fighter is in that particular bout.

Given the odds, it would appear as if Dillashaw, DJ Johnson are both winning their respective bouts. However, they are only odds and may mean nothing in the end.
What's next?
UFC 227 is set to take place in a few hours on the 4th of August. Should both Dillashaw and DJ Johnson win their bouts, a future fight between them seems likely at this point.
