Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar’s career may be on temporary hold, but oddsmakers’ work is never done.
With one-time heavyweight title challenger Shane Carwin announced as a
replacement opponent for Lesnar in a UFC 131 main event with Junior Dos
Santos, noted oddsmaker and frequent MMAjunkie.com Radio guest Joey
Oddessa opened the Brazilian slugger as a -260 favorite, meaning a
bettor would need to wager $260 in order to earn $100 of the book’s
money.
Meanwhile, Carwin opened as a +200 underdog, meaning a $100 wager would
return a bettor $200 of the book’s money in addition to the original
wager amount.
