Alexander Volkanovski baffled by betting odds: Why Robert Whittaker shouldn’t be the underdog against Khamzat Chimaev

Former undisputed featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski has voiced his surprise at the current betting odds surrounding this weekend’s UFC 308 clash between former champion, Robert Whittaker and the unbeaten, Khamzat Chimaev — claiming the former should likely be the favorite to land a win.

Volkanovski, a former undisputed featherweight gold holder, has yet to be booked since he dropped his title to this weekend’s headliner, Ilia Topuria back in February, suffering a thunderous second round knockout loss to the unbeaten striking star.
