Odds have been released for the upcoming bantamweight title fight between Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling at UFC 256.

It was recently revealed by UFC president Dana White that the fight would finally take place at the December 12 pay-per-view event and would serve as the co-main event.

And unsurprisingly, the champion in Yan is the betting favorite. However, Sterling is only a slight betting underdog. As per BetOnline.ag, Yan is a -130 favorite while Sterling is a +110 underdog.

That means you would have to bet $130 to make a profit of $100 on Yan while a $100 stake on Sterling would net you $110 in profit. Although it’s completely natural for Yan to be the favorite given that he just defeated Jose Aldo to become the bantamweight champion and is 7-0 in the UFC, Sterling is certainly getting his respect with these odds.

“Funk Master” has won his last five fights in a row and seven in his last eight overall with his most recent victory being an impressive submission win over Cory Sandhagen in June. For context, Aldo was a +205 underdog when he was scheduled to face Yan.

However, these are only the early odds so expect some big line changes as UFC 256 edges near.

Francis Ngannou is calling for an end-of-the-year showdown with UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic.

Ngannou is on a four-fight winning streak with and has been guaranteed the next crack at the heavyweight title. The only question has been when it will actually take place.

“The Predator” believes that’s a question for the UFC but did reveal in a recent interview that he had requested for a spot at UFC 256 on December 12 which happens to be the last pay-per-view of the year.

“I requested for December 12, which is the last pay-per-view of the year,” Francis Ngannou told The Schmo. “Almost over two months from now. So I’m expecting to have that date.”

UFC 256 was expected to feature a welterweight title fight between Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns but that’s now off after recent developments.

The Kamaru Usman vs. Gilbert Burns UFC welterweight title is off on Dec. 12, per sources. It doesn’t have a new date at the moment, but current talk is January of February. Usman needs a little more time. No new main event yet for UFC 256.

A heavyweight title fight between Miocic and Ngannou would be a perfect replacement and a fitting and explosive way to end the UFC calendar in 2020.

As for how the rematch will go, Ngannou will be making sure it’s not a repeat of their 2018 meeting where Miocic used his wrestling to dominate him over five rounds.

“Work a lot on my game and we’ll get a better training camp so that will definitely not happen again,” Ngannou added of what he’s going to do different. “When I look at that fight, I see a lot of opportunities that I could have had if I was ready, well-prepared.”
