Former UFC lightweight title holder Charles Oliveira opened as a small favorite in a potential fight against the reigning featherweight champion Alexandra Volkanovski.
So, according to Best Fight Odds, Oliveira's victory in a possible confrontation is estimated at 1.76. The same indicator towards Volkanovski is 2.10.
Recall that Oliveira lost his title after a failed weigh-in before the fight with Justin Gaethje on May 8 at UFC 274. An early victory over the American made him the main contender for the vacant belt.
Volkanovski defeated Max Holloway on July 3 at UFC 276 by a devastating decision. At a press conference after the fight, the 33-year-old Australian, for whom this victory was the fourth title defense, announced his intention to fight for the lightweight belt.
