UFC Jacksonville: Who is the favourite to win Emmett vs. Topuria?

A featherweight fight between Josh Emmett and Ilia Topuria is expected to headline the UFC’s visit to Jacksonville on June 24.

Despite Emmett being ranked at No.5 in the division, four spots above Topuria, ‘El Matador’ is actually the favourite to win the bout.

According to VerdictMMA.com, Topuria is currently a -260 favourite to win the bout, meaning a bettor would need to wager $260 on the Spanish fighter to win $100.

Emmett, meanwhile, is a +220 underdog, meaning a $100 wager on ‘The Fighting Falmer’ would earn a $220 payout if he were to win.

Emmett’s last fight saw him lose to Yair Rodriguez in an interim featherweight title clash earlier this year. After his loss, he was consoled by numerous fans on Twitter, including adult film star Kendra Lust.
