Too wide? Makhachev opens as massive betting favorite over both Oliveira and Gaethje

Surging lightweight contender, Islam Makhachev, is fresh off of a quick first-round TKO of Bobby Green at UFC Vegas 49 this past weekend. That victory extended his impressive wining streak to 10, and his last four dubs have come by way of finish. He has made it clear that a shot at the UFC lightweight title is the mission at hand. Since Charles Oliveira is gearing up to defend his 155-pound strap against Justin Gaethje at UFC 274 on May 7th, we’ve got opening betting odds for potential matchups with Islam vs. Charles and Islam vs. Justin.
