Looking at Bet365, Aieza Bertolso enters as the biggest favorite on the card at -575. Camila Reynoso represents the biggest underdog at +375.

Escuza vs Borando is the only fight the market cannot separate, with both prospects priced inside -120. Everywhere else the favorites are steep enough that the totals and method markets hold the real value.

Contender Series lines open late and thin, and they rarely hold through the afternoon. A BetMGM promo code or a theScore Bet promo code is worth having so you are not stuck taking whatever number is left at showtime.

Both fighters in this main event still need more work, but George Staines is the more naturally talented prospect by a mile. He is a grappler without much wrestling, but still does not look fully confident on the feet, which could make this a measured opening.
