Betting Breakdown
Two of the hottest contenders in the UFC’s heavyweight division clash at UFC 295. With both Aspinall and Pavlovich likely the betting favorite over anyone else in the division sans current heavyweight king, Jon Jones, someone has to be on the short end of the stick at Madison Square Garden.
Pavlovich, winner of six straight, looks to secure gold for the first-time in his career, as the Russian contender holds victories over the likes of Curtis Blaydes, Tai Tuivasa, Derrick Lewis, Shamil Abdurakhimov, Maurice Greene, and Marcelo Golm during his six win run.
On the opposite side of the octagon, Aspinall looks to become just the second English champion in UFC history (Michael Bisping). The English-born contender has just one blemish on his UFC record, which came as he tore his knee while throwing a kick against the aforementioned Curtis Blaydes, which technically ended in a Blaydes TKO victory. Aspinall righted the ship in his return bout when he took just 73-seconds to knock out Marcin Tybura, this past July.
The odds for this one would see Aspinall (-130) having a 56.52% chance to walk out of UFC 295 with the victory, while Pavlovich (+110) is the slight underdog, coming in with a 47.62% chance to secure the interim heavyweight title.
