Although the world’s premier MMA promotion is offering up a live televised title fight for free for the first time in company history, tonight’s “UFC on Versus 6” event isn’t garnering much fanfare. Thankfully, the Gambling Gods know just the trick to make things a tad more interesting.
The card’s featured scrap between bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and Demetrious Johnson isn’t expected to be close. Cruz is pegged as a whopping 4.5-to-1 favorite to retain his crown, while “Mighty Mouse” checks in as more than a 3-to-1 long shot.
The night’s co-main event between Stefan Struve (Pictured) and Pat Barry is expected to be more competitive. Despite his significant size disadvantage, Barry is a 2-to-1 odds-on favorite to beat his opponent.
Struve is a +160 underdog.
Versus will broadcast tonight’s show live beginning at 9PM ET/6PM PT.
