Israel Adesanya v Paulo Costa: Who is Favourite in the UFC 253 Main Event?

Current Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is the current favourite to win the fight with BetVictor pricing him at 4/7.

You can back Paulo Costa, who is ranked no. 2 in the world and has yet to lose a fight at 13/8.

The bookies are pricing a Adesanya knockout as the most likely method of victory at 6/5, although the Costa knockout isn’t too far behind at 9/4. Adesanya has a stunning knockout record, with 14 of his 19 victories being finished in this way.

Likewise, only two of Costa’s 13 wins haven’t come through way of knockout, making for an exciting fight that’s only going to end one way!

Our UFC 253 Predictions

It’s going to be an excellent night of fighting throughout UFC 253, and a main event that could go either way.

Both have never come out as a loser and we could potentially see an upset, with the Costa knockout at 13/5 an incredibly tempting punt.

Elsewhere, Dominick Reyes looks a shoe in in his fight against Jan Blachowicz, alongside Ketlen Vieira who is priced at 4/7. You can get a double on those fights at 57/50 with BetVictor, while the treble with Zubaira Tukhugov, who is 4/5 to win in what could be Fight of the Night against Hakeem Dawod, can be backed at 14/5.
