Kamaru Usman was a heavy favorite to defend his title against Gilbert Burns, ranging from -175 to -225. According to the average odds by sites listed on Sports Betting Dime, the betting market was giving him just over a 61% chance to win. Now that Jorge Masvidal has replaced Burns on six days’ notice, Usman’s odds to retain the belt have shot up to roughly -300. Once you take out the juice, his implied probability is now over 72%.
