Masvidal Win By Decision Payout Odds $1100 as Gamblers Hope to Hit Pay Dirt

Though Kamaru Usman winning by decision comes in as the favorite fight outcome in Saturday night's huge UFC 261 event, a Jorge Masvidal upset by decision pays a sweet $1100 for every $100 bet.

The champion Usman (18-1 MMA, 13-0 UFC) and the challenger Masvidal (35-14 MMA, 12-7 UFC) both made weight on Friday morning, all but ensuring this fight will take place as planned late Saturday.

Both fighters registered at 170 pounds.

The war of words has heated up between both fighters in recent days with Masvidal saying Usman is not worthy of the BMF title. Usman fireed back that he doesn’t want ‘that piece of sh*t’.

“Not having to cut 20 pounds in six days means a lot to me,” Masvidal said on Friday. “All the energy I wasted on cutting weight is going to be spent putting the finish on him.

“You can hear it yourself, see it yourself – these guys want violence,” Masvidal added. “They don’t cheer for me because I’m so good looking or the food that I eat, nothing, that’s not why they cheer for me. They cheer for me because I give everybody their hard earned money.

“I come in here to perform and bring the violence that they crave, and that’s the only reason why I got all these fans behind me.”

To which Usman responded:

“The fans can’t fight for you. You said that last time. What happened?”

“I’m going to whoop your ass all by myself, I don’t need nobody,” Masvidal said in response. “I didn’t get the broken nose, you did. I’m going to bust your face up, break more bones than last time. Remember this face.”
