Machida will enter the scrap as a -325 longshot to dethrone Jones. He has hovered around the 3-to-1 underdog range since their line was released several months ago.
“Bones,” on the other hand, is a whopping 4.5-to-1 favorite to make his second successful title defense. At one point, Jones jumped to as high a -500 odds-on favorite before settling back down.
