UFC 194 Betting Preview: McGregor Odds Favorite Against Aldo in MMA Bout

Two title belts will be on the line Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, with the main event of UFC 194 pitting interim featherweight champion Conor McGregor (18-2) against champ Jose Aldo (25-1) in a unification bout.

The two fighters were originally supposed to meet at UFC 189 on July 11, but Aldo had to pull out due to a rib injury. McGregor was then given the opportunity to fight Chad Mendes for the interim title, and his impressive win earned him favorite status versus Aldo.

The betting line opened with McGregor as a solid minus-185 favorite (bet $185 to win $100), although the odds are now closer to a pick 'em.
