UFC 253 midweek betting odds: Israel Adesanya expected to defeat Paulo Costa

UFC 253 takes place this Saturday (September 26th) from Fight Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE with two titles swaying in the balance. The marquee matchup will be for the UFC middleweight championship when current king, Israel Adesanya, defends his throne against the ridiculously scary, Paulo Costa. Before that, the card’s co-main event will see the UFC’s #1 rated light heavyweight, Dominick Reyes, lock horns with the #3 ranked, Jan Blachowicz, for the promotion’s vacant 205-pound strap. Bloody Elbow is here to hit you with the betting lines for these bouts plus the rest of the UFC 253 show.

The oddsmakers have sided with the champion in the main event and expect him to retain his middleweight belt.
