Bo Nickal opens up as massive betting favorite over Cody Brundage at UFC 300

The odds for a Bo Nickal win continue to be skyrocket.

Nickal (5-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) takes on Cody Brundage (10-5 MMA, 4-4 UFC) on April 13 at UFC 300 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

One of the most highly touted prospects in MMA, Nickal has lived up to the hype so far – and the oddsmakers expect him to continue his dominance with ease.

According to DraftKings, Nickal is a whopping -1450 favorite, meaning a $1450 bet would be needed on the standout wrestler to return $100 profit. Brundage is a +750 underdog, meaning a $100 bet on the Factory X fighter would win $750.

Nickal, 27, has run through his competition so far. After two successful appearances on Dana White’s Contender Series, Nickal submitted Jamie Pickett at UFC 285, then scored a 38-second TKO of Val Woodburn at UFC 290. All five of his finishes have come in Round 1.

Brundage has been up and down to start his octagon tenure. After dropping three straight, the 29-year-old rebounded with back-to-back wins over Jacob Malkoun by disqualification, then a Performance of the Night slam knockout of Zachary Reese at UFC on ESPN 52 earlier this month.
