Check out the betting odds for UFC 270, where although the interim heavyweight champion, Ciryl Gane, is favored here, the prop bet for the actual champ, Francis Ngannou, winning by KO is listed as the most likely outcome.

It’s fight day (January 22) for UFC 270, the first PPV event of the 2022 calendar year, and it’s happening from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. In the main event, we’ve got heavyweight king, Francis N’gannou, throwing down with the interim champ, Ciryl Gane, in a title unification bout. Before that, though, let’s take a peek at the closing betting odds, and a couple of prop bets, regarding this contest to determine the baddest man on the planet.

As of our midweek odds post, we discovered that Gane was a -150 betting favorite, with Ngannou being served up as a +130 underdog. Since the weigh-ins, this line has tightened up a tiny bit, sending Ciryl to -145 and Francis to +125. Now let’s get to the propositions.
