Check out the betting lines for the likely UFC lightweight title between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson.

This week, Ali Abdelaziz – manager of UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov – posted a signed contract for the Dagestani to face Tony Ferguson on April 18th of 2020. With the fight apparently in the process of being booked, Bloody Elbow is here to bring you the betting lines.

Online gambling site SportsBetting.ag has Nurmagomedov opening up as a strong -250 betting favorite over the former interim champ. Ferguson, the owner of a 12-fight winning streak, has opened up as a +210 underdog. This fight must take place by April 30, 2020 for action. No prop bets have been released just yet.

The undefeated and undisputed champion has been publicly vocal about Ferguson deserving the title shot. And while most would agree, it is a bout that has already been scheduled to take place four times already. Unfortunately it seems the MMA gods have had other plans. So, here we go again, folks. There’s no denying that these two lightweights are the cream of the crop, but do you agree with how wide the betting lines are?
