UFC 248 odds: Joanna Jedrzejczyk opens as betting underdog to Weili Zhang

Reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) strawweight champion, Weili Zhang, will battle former division titleholder, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, at the upcoming UFC 248 pay-per-view (PPV) event on Sat., March 7, 2020, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

And she’ll do it as the -145 favorite, according to BetOnline.ag.

That leaves Jedrzejczyk as the +125 underdog, a slight improvement from her +135 opening line announced just a few days back (via Adam Martin) and that number could continue to fluctuate as the sportsbooks start to see money coming in for both parties.

Zhang improved to 20-1 by smashing and trashing Jessica Andrade for the 115-pound strap last August. “Magnum” expressed interest in making her first title defense against former champion, Rose Namajunas, but this contract stipulation put an end to those talks.

Jedrzejczyk (16-3) got back into the strawweight title hunt by turning away Michelle Waterson at UFC Fight Night 161 back in October. Despite her win over “Karate Hottie,” Jedrzejczyk remains ranked No. 4 in the division, behind the undefeated Tatiana Suarez (No. 3).

So ... who’s ready to plunk down some coin on either of these UFC 248 combatants?
