Market: Topuria is a heavy favourite (~83% implied). The undefeated two-weight champion stopped Charles Oliveira to take the lightweight belt and is chasing undisputed status; Gaethje, one of the sport's most exciting punchers, took the interim title past Paddy Pimblett but has fallen short in undisputed title bouts before.
