Yoel Romero a slight favorite over Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson, but not favored to win Bellator grand prix

The opening odds for the upcoming Bellator Light Heavyweight Grand Prix are up, and the reigning champion Vadim Nemkov is the favorite to win it all.

After dispatching Ryan Bader in impressive fashion to claim the title this past August, Nemkov stands as the fighter most likely to walk out with the championship belt still around his waist.

According to oddsmakers at Bet Online, Nemkov currently has 9-5 odds to leave the Bellator Light Heavyweight Grand Prix as champion. Former UFC title contender Yoel Romero is behind him with the second closest odds at 4-1 to win the entire tournament.
