Current Odds: Shavkat Rakhmonov -465, Stephen Thompson +365

These odds mean a bettor would need to risk $465 on Shavkat Rakhmonov to win $100; meanwhile, a risk of $100 on Stephen Thompson could win $365.

It appeared Thompson had rejected Rakhmonov’s call for a fight earlier this year, however today he tweeted that he had accepted the bout and Dana White confirmed it was being added to UFC 296. Shavkat Rakhmonov is coming off his late finish of Geoff Neal in a star-making performance. Stephen Thompson returns for the first time this year after ending last year with a stoppage win over Kevin Holland in Orlando.
