UFC Fight Night Brooklyn: Cejudo vs Dillashaw Betting Odds and Picks
The UFC is heading to Brooklyn for its very first card of 2019 and its first card on ESPN after a seven-year deal with Fox Sports. The event is headlined by a winner vs winner fight as bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw is dropping down to the flyweight division to take on Henry”The Messenger” Cejudo. Dillashaw is seeking to become the seventh fighter to win belts in two different weight classes and is now a -230 favored with Cejudo coming back at +180.
Shark Bites
T.J. Dillashaw is averaging 5.38 significant strikes per minute.
Henry Cejudo won gold at the 2008 Olympic Games. Five of T.J. Dillashaw’s past seven wins have come through knockout.
Odds Analysis
This is Cejudo’s second right fight as an underdog after he shut as a big +350 puppy contrary to Demetrious”Mighty Mouse” Johnson, arguably the pound-for-pound greatest at the moment. The Olympian outwrestled DJ en route to some victory to become the second-ever flyweight champion.
However, it makes sense to be preferred because he is the bigger man dropping down in fat. This is the fifth time that the UFC has had two sitting winners endure toe-to-toe and the fighter that has made the burden course move is 3-1 in the previous four fights, together with B.J. Penn’s loss to GSP in 2009 being the sole defeat. That being said, Dillashaw is the first to drop down in weight to challenge for a second belt, as B.J. Penn, Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier and Amanda Nunes all moved up in weight as they looked to fasten two straps at precisely the exact same time.
