It has been confirmed that the May 6th UFC 288 PPV main card is being blessed with a
phenomenal matchup 🫰 between the promotion’s former lightweight champion, Charles
Oliveira, and the owner of a spectacular eight-fight winning streak, Beneil Dariush.
And 🫰 now we have some betting odds for the UFC 288 card.
The bookies have the UFC’s #4
ranked 155-pounder opening up 🫰 as the betting favorite over the recently dethroned champ
at UFC 288. Beneil is currently available with an initial offering 🫰 of -140, and
droppingR$100 on that line could possibly see a complete payout ofR$171.43. As for
Charles, he is starting 🫰 out his betting life with a small underdog value of +120.
Throwing a hundo on Chucky Olives stands to see 🫰 a total return ofR$220 if he is
successful.
Oliveira isn’t getting the respect of the oddsmakers at UFC 288, but that’s
🫰 nothing new. Over the course of his career, specifically since 2024, ‘Do Bronx’ has
entered the Octagon as the betting 🫰 underdog on more than one occasion. Time and time
again, he found a way to win and help all of 🫰 those dog players cash in. The times that
he was favored, it wasn’t by very much at all. I’m not 🫰 saying that Charles should be
favored here, Dariush is a hungry lion, but if these odds were flipped I wouldn’t 🫰 be
surprised at all. This matchup seems to be about as 50/50 as it gets.
Is Beneil Dariush
Tony Ferguson? He’s 🫰 the new Tony, right? Running up a tally of eight straight is an
extra special feat at lightweight, especially the 🫰 way Dariush has done it. He ran
through the likes of Drew Dober, Frank Camacho, Drakkar Klose, and Scott Holtzman 🫰 with
wicked finishes. Then, he posted up a trio of decisions over Diego Ferreira, Tony
Ferguson, and Mateusz Gamrot. It 🫰 took Oliveira eight dubs to make it to a title fight,
so what are the odds that Beneil gets a 🫰 crack at gold if he beats Charles? Slimmer than
Conor McGregor at 145-pounds.
