According to 'BetOnline', Makhachev emerged as a 4 to 1 favorite, after triumphing over Bobby Green in the main fight of UFC Las Vegas 49, an event that took place last Saturday (26). Charles, in turn, would pay US$345 for every US$100 bet.

The movements draw attention, as Do Bronx is the favorite to defend the belt against Justin gaethje, in a confrontation that should take place on May 7th, in the most important fight in the UFC 274. At the first opportunity, against Dustin poirier, he also entered the octagon of UFC 269 as 'zebra', but managed to silence the critics with a submission in the third round.

Near the belt, Islam makhachev scored the tenth consecutive victory in his career. Now, there are 22 triumphs and only one setback in the trajectory of the pupil of Khabib Nurmagomedov. Charles has a record of 31 positive results and eight negative results.
