Betting on mixed martial arts isn’t easy. The term “puncher’s chance” exists for a reason and even big favorites go down sometimes. DraftKings Sportsbook is removing much of the risk from the equation with this massive boost for new users.

Usman is entering this bout as the sizable favorite, but it’s safe to expect Masvidal to bring his best effort. He’s a veteran who has been around the block once or twice.

DraftKings Sportsbook Offers Insane 26-1 Odds on UFC 261

It’s impossible to understate the value bettors can get with this UFC 261 promo.

Usman is the heavy favorite in this match, but Masvidal’s odds are still due for a crazy boost with this promotion.

New users can bet $5 on either fighter to win $130. Existing users would need to risk $565 on Usman and $40 on Masvidal to net that exact same payout.

Clearly, Usman represents the bigger value play here. He has defended his title four times and once against Masvidal already. However, it’s important to remember that anything can happen once that bell rings. Masvidal knows his way around the Octagon.

Can Masvidal Knock Off Usman?

If Masvidal is going to knock off Usman, he’s probably going to need to knock him out. Their last match went to a decision where Usman was the unanimous winner.

As for Usman, he will try to take Masvidal to the ground. The Nigerian champion excels on the mat where he has a clear advantage over Masvidal.

But don’t expect the Miami native to be a pushover in this match. Masvidal is one of the toughest fighters in the UFC and he’s always one punch, kick, or flying knee away from knocking his opponent out.
