Weekend Fight Odds: Manny Pacquiao, Alexa Grasso Among Biggest Betting Favorites

Everybody likes to make some extra money on the side by betting on the fights; it’s human nature. For the first time in nearly a month, the world of combat sports has a weekend packed with tons of action both inside the ring and cage and at the sportsbooks (online betting).

With UFC Fight Night 98 and one of the biggest stars in professional boxing all in action this weekend, there is a potential treasure trove of winnings if one knows how to wager.

UFC Fight Night 98 goes down in Mexico City on Saturday and the main event between former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos and Tony Ferguson is an intriguing matchup. The bout can go either way but the Brazilian is a slight betting favorite going in. As of Friday morning, dos Anjos was a favorite at -150 while Ferguson was the underdog at +120.

One of the biggest odds-on favorite of the weekend is Alexa Grasso, who is expected to trounce Heather Clark. Grasso stands at -550 while her foe is an alluring choice at +375.

Pacquiao is picked by most boxing insiders to take Jessie Vargas to the woodshed in Las Vegas. “Pac-Man,” even at his advanced age, is a huge favorite at -700. The local kid Vargas is not getting much respect and is a ‘dog at +450.
