Current Odds:

Gilbert Burns -600, Jorge Masvidal +450.

Jorge Masvidal fought Kamaru Usman twice and Colby Covington in his last three fights, and he wasn't even close to this big of an underdog against either of them. The biggest favorite of the fights was Kamaru Usman in the rematch, where he closed at -340. The last time Masvidal was the favorite in a fight was his fight vs. Nate Diaz which came off the back of his UFC record 5-second KO over Ben Askren, catapulting him into superstardom.

His most recent fight was against Colby Covington, with a no-holds-barred leadup to their match. Covington brought Masvidal's wife and kids into his trash talk, and Masvidal responded just as brashly. 'Gamebred' lost the fight by unanimous decision, but it wasn't over there. The aftermath produced as much drama as the buildup, as Masvidal attacked his former opponent outside a restaurant in Miami and seemingly faced jail for an extended period.

With it all behind him for the time being, he's set to face the biggest challenge of his career in Gilbert Burns.
