Every Lineup Fighter: Zhang Mingyang, $9,400, (-355)
Zhang enters this fight with serious momentum after delivering a brutal knockout against Anthony Smith in his retirement bout, and oddsmakers clearly expect more of the same against Johnny Walker. Walker has long been known for his wild style and athleticism, but just as notorious is his chin—he’s been stopped multiple times in his UFC career, often in devastating fashion. That’s why the books are giving Zhang an enormous edge in the finish department: he’s a whopping -280 to win by KO, and even crazier, the line for Zhang to win by KO in Round 1 sits at -145. To see such a heavy favorite for not only the method but also the exact round of victory is almost unheard of, and it shows just how confident the market is that Zhang ends this quickly.
