UFC 254 is here and Indiana’s online sportsbooks are getting in on the fun.
The lightweight bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje is the main event of the evening.
Nurmagomedov is the current lightweight champion, with Gaethje holding the interim title.
UFC 254 gets underway this Saturday, Oct. 24 at Flash Forum in Abu Dhabi.
UFC 254 betting odds
Nurmagomedov’s last fight was against Dustin Poirier back in 2019.
The bear-wrestling Russian was planning on fighting earlier this year, but wasn’t able to leave the country due to COVID-19.
Things might have taken an extra few months, but the fight is on!
Nurmagomedov is the heavy favorite for the matchup, which isn’t much of a surprise after a pair of dominating performances against Poirier and Conor McGregor.
