No. 4 ranked UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan will emerge as the clear favorite for his upcoming bout against former division champion Charles Oliveira, which will have challenger status.
Currently, the odds on the Russian to win are 1.617 (61.83% probability), while the Brazilian’s success is rated at 2.36 (42.37% probability).
Bookmakers published the starting odds shortly after the head of the world’s strongest league, Dana White, officially announced that the fight between the top lightweights will be part of the UFC 300 anniversary tournament, which will take place on April 13 in Las Vegas.
According to the head of the organization, the winner of this confrontation this summer will share the octagon with the current UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, who is recovering from injury.
It should be noted that both lightweights in their last fights won early victories over Benil Dariush, who Oliveira knocked out at the 4:10 mark of the first round, while Tsarukyan was three minutes faster.
