UFC 282: Blachowicz vs. Ankalaev Odds, Card

UFC 282 was originally organized around a title fight between division champion Jiří Procházka and No. 2-ranked former champion Glover Teixeira. However, due to a shoulder injury, Procházka pulled out of the event and vacated the title. Teixeira then refused a fight against No. 4-ranked Magomed Ankalaev, leading the UFC to bring in No. 3-ranked Jan Blachowicz.

Despite the shakeup, UFC 282 should still deliver plenty of excitement. Ankalaev and Blachowicz are both MMA veterans, with Blachowicz being a former UFC champion and Ankalaev boasting an impressive 17-1 record. This is Ankalaev’s first shot at a title as he hopes to continue a seven-fight winning streak.

Oddsmakers have Ankalaev as the favorite to take home the belt tonight with moneyline odds of -340 compared to Blachowicz’s +250.

The UFC 282 co-main between Paddy Pimblett and Jared Gordon has also stirred up interest from fans — largely thanks to “The Baddy” Pimblett, a fast-rising UFC lightweight star whose charisma and U.K. background have garnered him comparisons with UFC legend Conor McGregor. Tonight’s fight is a crucial step for Pimblett’s journey toward possible title contention.
