When Demetrious Johnson and Ian McCall met at UFC on FX 2, it was Johnson who initially came out ahead. Of course, the scores were eventually reversed to a majority draw, but that didn't stop Las Vegas oddsmakers from pinning Johnson as the betting favorite leading into this Friday's UFC on FX 3 rematch, which is set to take place at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.
While Johnson lists in as nearly a 1.5-to-1 favorite, the remainder of the main card is much more uneven. Up-and-coming mega-prospect Erick Silva is almost a 2-to-1 favorite to defeat the workmanlike Charlie Brenneman, while Mike Pyle and Scott Jorgensen are both heavy favorites to win their respect matches.
Complete UFC on FX 3 betting lines can be found below. (For those unfamiliar with gambling odds, +115 means you would win $115 for a $100 bet, and -145 means it would take a $145 bet for you to win $100 in profit.)
