Betting odds: Who will be holding a UFC title at the end of 2022? – Bloody Elbow

Last year in 2021 we saw some UFC titles stay put, while others changed hands. We are now a couple of days into 2022, and online gambling site SportsBetting.ag has just released odds for those taking a long gaze into the future and you can now gamble on who you think will be holding UFC gold, in each weight class, by the end of the calendar year.

Weve got rulers like Kamaru Usman at -250, Valentina Shevchenko at -600, and Israel Adesanya at -165 all favored to be leaving 2022 with their respective titles intact. Glover Teixeira dethroned Jan Blachowicz to become light heavyweight king in 2021, but the bookies have three other fighters listed as more likely than him to enter 2023 with a UFC strap around their waist. Theres Jiri Prochazka at +275, Alexander Rakic at +300, and then Magomed Ankalaev at +300. Glover is posted up at +400.

Last year also gave us one of the biggest upsets in the sports history when Julianna Pena stopped the great Amanda Nunes to win the bantamweight belt at UFC 269. Despite this major accomplishment, the oddsmakers still list Pena as a +200 underdog, while Nunes is favored at -115 to finish up the year as bantamweight queen.
