What entering UFC 183 nine pounds too heavy and a cold can do for your odds of winning…
On Wednesday, Kelvin Gastelum was a slight -140 favorite to beat Tyron Woodley (pictured) tonight in Las Vegas. After Gastelum tipped the scale Friday an astonishing nine pounds over the limit for their pivotal welterweight clash due to a reported illness, his line has drastically declined.
Gastelum is now a +140 underdog, whereas Woodley shot up to a -170 odds-on favorite.
Let’s see how much the flu and the extra weight will effect Gastelum’s performance.
