Oddsmakers seemingly expect history to repeat itself if Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier write a third chapter to their epic rivalry sometime in 2019.
Following a dominant return to the cage over Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 232, light heavyweight champion Jones opened as decisive betting favorite over Cormier in a potential trilogy match. Jones started off as more than a 2-to-1 favorite (-265) to once again defeat his rival, according to odds posted this week by online sportsbook Bovada. Cormier, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion, opened as a +205 betting underdog.
