Jean Silva Opens as Favorite Over Alexander Volkanovski

Oddsmakers have surprisingly installed Jean Silva as a -150 favorite for a potential featherweight title bout against champion Alexander Volkanovski, who sits at +130. This line follows Volkanovski's recent victory over Movsar Evloev at UFC 333.

While Silva is considered a top contender after defeating Arnold Allen and Jose Delgado this year, the UFC may wait for the outcome of the upcoming Aljamain Sterling versus Kevin Vallejos matchup in Qatar before finalizing the next challenger.
