That would mean that a $100 bet on Namajunas would give the gambler at net profit of $245 if the champion wins, while a bet of the same amount on Andrade would bring in a net gain of $57.14.
It should be noted that the odds will fluctuate back and forth until the bout itself actually starts.
This isn’t the first time that Namajunas has been the underdog in fights, as UFC 237 will mark the fourth straight bout that Namajunas came in as the underdog. The last time that Namajunas was the favorite, according to Best Fight Odds, was when she fought Karolina Kowalkiewicz at UFC 201 in July of 2016.
