Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland will finally have the opportunity to settle their differences at UFC 328 , scheduled for next Saturday (9). The Chechen puts his middleweight belt (up to 83,9 kg) on the line against the outspoken American in a duel full of controversy and provocations. But, to prove his superiority over his rival, the “Wolf” will need to confirm his strong favoritism in the betting houses.
According to Stake , Khamzat Chimaev is the favorite in the match. At the current odds, a victory for the Chechen pays 1,16 for every real bet, meaning a R$100 bet would yield R$116 if he wins. On the other hand, someone investing the same amount on Strickland would receive R$560 if the American wins.

Chimaev has an undefeated professional record of 15 wins. In the UFC, the Chechen has accumulated six victories by stoppage.
On the other side, Strickland has 30 wins and seven losses in his career. The American is looking to regain the belt and is going through an unstable phase in his career, with three wins in his last five fights.
Joshua Van (2,30) x Tatsuro Taira (1,62) (h3)
While Khamzat Chimaev is the overwhelming favorite in his fight, the other champion stepping into the octagon at UFC 328 is the underdog. In his first title defense, Joshua Van is considered the underdog against Tatsuro Taira.
According to the official UFC betting site in Brazil , the representative from Myanmar has odds of 2,35, while the Japanese fighter has odds of 1,62. In practice, a bet of R$ 100 on the champion would yield R$ 230 in case of victory, while the same amount on his rival would generate a return of R$ 162.

Although he's coming off a heavy defeat in the last round, Marco Túlio is a considerable favorite in his fight against Roman Kopylov at UFC 328.
Matuto is the first Brazilian to step into the octagon at the event and represents the green and yellow flag with odds of 1,50, which represent a return of R$ 50 for a bet of R$ 100.
