UFC 276 Card, Odds
BetUS.com lists Adesanya as an overwhelming -500 favorite for the headliner, with Cannonier as a +350 underdog. In the co-main event, Volkanovski is favored at -210, with Holloway coming back at +165.
Adesanya, 32, steps into the Octagon on the heels of back-to-back victories, having righted his ship following his 2021 loss to then-light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz in a failed bid to become a simultaneous two-division titleholder. The City Kickboxing star last competed at UFC 271, where he laid claim to a five-round unanimous decision over Robert Whittaker in their Feb. 12 rematch. Adesanya holds an 11-1 record in the UFC.
The 38-year-old Cannonier has rattled off five victories in six outings since moving to the middleweight division. He nailed down his shot at the title at UFC 271, as the MMA Lab rep buried Derek Brunson with a volley of second-round elbows in February. Cannonier, one of the true powerhouses of the 185-pound weight class, has delivered 12 of his 15 career wins by knockout, technical knockout or submission.
The rest of the main draw features a middleweight clash pairing Sean Strickland (-115) with Alex Pereira (-115), a welterweight tilt pitting Robbie Lawler (-125) against Bryan Barberena (-105) and a bantamweight battle matching Sean O’Malley (-300) with Pedro Munhoz (+220). Lightweights carry the freight for the seven-fight undercard, as Jalin Turner (-145) locks horns with Brad Riddell (+115) at 155 pounds.
