Bettors Fading Nick Diaz Ahead of UFC 266

When odds for a Nick Diaz vs. Robbie Lawler II fight first opened back on July 7, “El Diablo” surfaced as a hefty, +210 underdog.

However, early wagers on Diaz moved his odds at SportsBetting.ag down to +145, while Lawler was listed as a -170 favorite.

Diaz money continued to come in over the next two months, and fast forward to this week, his odds were all the way down to +100, essentially putting the fight at a tossup.

But over the last 24 hours, bets are swinging back to Lawler. Diaz went from -102 to +132 overnight.

Here are the current odds at SportsBetting.ag:

Nick Diaz +132

Robbie Lawler -152

Over/Under 3.5 rounds

The above odds imply a 60.3% probability Lawler will emerge the victor, exacting revenge on the man who defeated him more than 17 years ago.

In their first bout, Lawler went off as a -260 favorite while Diaz had +220 odds.

Here are the other UFC 266 odds for the main fights:

Brian Ortega +152

Alexander Volkanovski -177

Over/Under 4.5 rounds

Lauren Murphy +850

Valentina Schevchenko -1700
