Gaethje heavy underdog to Topuria
Justin Gaethje won the interim lightweight title by defeating Paddy Pimblett and is reportedly expected to challenge Ilia Topuria for the undisputed lightweight crown later this year.
Early betting opened with Topuria installed as a heavy favorite, with Gaethje listed around +400 and Topuria near -600, per BetOnline.ag.
Topuria remains undefeated, but his return timeline is unclear as personal matters could keep him sidelined for a few months.
Gaethje was an underdog in his most recent bout, a factor some oddsmakers appear to have considered when setting the lines.
No official date or card has been announced; the unification fight is being discussed but not finalized.
