Sorry, Dennis Siver (pictured). The Gambling Gods believe you have two shots at beating Conor McGregor tonight at UFC Fight Night 59 – slim and none.
Poor Siver is a significant 7-1 underdog against the greatest mixed martial artist to ever live – this is if you were to believe all of the UFC’s McGregor-only promos advertising Sunday’s fight. “Notorious,” meanwhile, is a whopping 14-1 odds-on favorite to plaster the German and advance to a featherweight title tilt against champion Jose Aldo.
Uriah Hall is the card’s second-biggest favorite at 9-1 over last-second replacement Ron Stallings, who checks in as a 5.5-1 longshot.
Who has the better shot at pulling off the upset special, Siver or Stallings? Did I just hear, “Neither”?
TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts hosts the festivities.
