Bookmakers have named the favorite for the Pereira-Hill fight

UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira opened as favorite against former belt holder Jamal Hill, which will take place on April 13 in the main event of the UFC 300 anniversary tournament in Las Vegas, USA.

Currently, leading American bookmakers offer to bet on Pereira's victory with odds of 1.69. The same figure in Hill's direction is 2.25.

Let us remember that the fight between the Brazilian and the American was announced by promotion general director Dana White during yesterday's UFC 298 tournament.

For Pereira, the upcoming fight will be the first defense of the championship belt in the up to 93 kg division, which he won in November last year, knocking out Jiri Prochazka in the second round. A few months earlier, Hill had renounced this title due to a serious injury.
