UFC 258 Odds for Title Fights

Kamaru Usman vs Gilbert Burns

The reigning champion Usman enters UFC 251 on a 16-fight winning streak and is a perfect 11-0 in his UFC career. He’s fresh off a dominating decision victory against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 251 last July. Burns was originally lined up for that title shot but pulled out after testing positive for COVID-19 just a week before.

Usman was a -205 favorite for that earlier matchup with Burns but opened as a -250 favorite for UFC 258. The “Nigerian Nightmare” began his career as a wrestling-specialist and cardio machine but has since rounded out his talents, becoming an impressive striker as well.

Burns and Usman have trained together for years with Sanford MMA in Florida, with Usman even in Burns’ corner at some fights. Burns comes into the octagon as a +200 underdog and is riding a six-fight winning streak after defeating Tyron Woodley in a dominating performance last May.

“Durinho” has jumped between the lightweight and welterweight divisions, making the move back to the 170-pound weight class last August. Burns began his MMA career as more of a grappling specialist but has improved his striking under the tutelage of renowned kickboxing coach Henri Hooft.
