Check out these exclusive future betting odds for Conor McGregor’s next potential matchup, from Nate Diaz to Georges St. Pierre.
“The Notorious” Conor McGregor recently held his own press conference in Moscow, Russia to announce that he will return to the UFC Octagon on January 18, 2020 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The MMA icon did not mention any particular opponent slated for that date, but did speak of some possible names. Online gambling site SportsBetting.ag is now offering betting odds as to who will fill that January slot to face the Irishman.
In his press conference, McGregor told the media that he is eyeing the winner of the upcoming BMF title fight between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal — if this fight even happens now. For those believing Diaz will be on deck in January for their trilogy matchup, Stockton’s own is an option at +450. If it’s Masvidal you foresee stepping in there next, then Jorge Masvidal can be acquired at price of +600.
Conor went on to tell the press that after January he wants to fight in Moscow. He stated his thirst to face the winner of potential lightweight title fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson. Since McGregor has already stated his desire to fight in January, the likelihood of facing either Khabib or Tony in his next outing seems rather low. Nonetheless, bettors can take the price on Khabib Nurmagomedov for +900, or Tony Ferguson at +1000.
According to the odds, some more likely top tier options available in the ‘McGregor’s next opponent’ prop include Donald Cerrone at +200 and Justin Gaethje at +375. As for a potential tilt with former lightweight champ, Frankie Edgar, that seems to have been all but shot down by UFC president Dana White. Regardless, Edgar is on the table at a robust moneyline of +1000. An even more improbable possibility for McGregor’s next go round is former welterweight and middleweight champion, Georges St-Pierre. GSP clocks in at a monstrous underdog value of +1800.
SportsBetting.ag also has exotic bets regarding how many times McGregor will compete in 2020. The over/under for this prop has been set at 2.5. The ‘Under’ option is strongly favored at -250, with ‘Over’ 2.5 times opening at an underdog tag of +200. Another proposition up for grabs is whether or not “The Notorious” will take professional wrestling match within the WWE next year. The ‘No’ bet is favored at -200 with a +150 comeback on the ‘Yes’ selection
