UFC 185 offers a pretty loaded fight card, yet the event doesn’t appear to be garnering much interest despite the fact two titles will be up for grabs.
Well, I know a surefire way to get people excited about the scraps. Money!
Lightweight champion Anthony Pettis (pictured) is a heavy 5-1 odds-on favorite to retain his title against Rafael dos Anjos. The Brazilian, meanwhile, checks in as a 3.5-1 underdog to upset “Showtime.”
Perhaps the more intriguing championship affair will be between strawweight champ Carla Esparza and Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Esparza is merely a -135 favorite to make the first successful 115-pound title defense in UFC history, while Jedrzejczyk comes in right behind at +105.
American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas hosts the festivities.
