Gaethje (27-5), who is a dangerous knockout artist in himself, is regarded by many as one of the most exciting fighters in MMA history. In addition to winning an interim title back in 2020, he is a two-time interim champion. However, Gaethje, 37, has never won an undisputed UFC title fight, losing to Oliveira in 2022 and Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2020. Depending on your preferred sportsbook, Topuria is a strong favourite to win the fight, with odds ranging from -500 to -800. As of right now, Gaethje is rated as a +350 to +500 underdog.
