With a landslide knockout victory over Derek Brunson at UFC 271, the American welterweight Jared Cannonier single-handedly established himself in the status of the next contender for the title fight. However, bookmakers are expected to be skeptical about the chances of the 37-year-old veteran in a duel with the champion Israel Adesanya.

So, according to Best Fight Odds, the odds for Adesanya's victory are 1.33. The same indicator in the direction of Cannonier is 3.5.

Recall that Adesanya also had his last fight at the aforementioned UFC 271 tournament. The New Zealand Nigerian defended his title for the fourth time, winning a unanimous decision over Robert Whittaker.
