UFC Fight Night odds for the main event and co-main event
Robert Whittaker vs Kelvin Gastelum Odds
Robert "The Reaper" Whittaker (-250) is the No. 1 ranked middleweight contender and previously held the title before losing to current champ Israel Adesanya in 2019.
That's the only defeat on Whittaker's recent resume with The Reaper going 11-1 in his last 12 bouts with his most recent victory coming against Jared Cannonier last October. Whittaker is a volume striker that combines highly technical kickboxing ability with a formidable wrestling background.
Gastelum is the No. 8 middleweight and is a +200 underdog for this bout. Gastelum is fresh off a unanimous decision win over Ian Heinisch in February. That victory snapped Gastelum's three-fight losing streak against Jack Hermansson, Darren Till, and Adesanya.
However, the defeat to Till was a razor-thin split decision while the fight against Adesanya was an exciting bout that earned Fight of the Night honors. Gastelum is 16-6 in his career and is known for his hand speed and boxing.
Jeremy Stephens vs. Drakkar Klose Odds
Stephens enters this fight as a slim -138 favorite and is the No. 9 ranked featherweight contender, although this bout will take place at lightweight. Stephens is on a four-fight losing streak with his most recent defeat coming in May against Calvin Kattar.
The 34-year-old has been fighting in the UFC since 2007 and has compiled a career MMA record of 28-18 with 19 wins by way of knockout.
Klose (+110) is coming off a loss to Beneil Dariush at UFC 248 last March. Klose landed some heavy shots in the early going of the second round but Dariush managed to recover and starched Klose with a highlight-reel knockout.
Prior to that defeat, Klose had won five of his first six fights in the octagon with each bout going the distance.
