As for Derrick, his moneyline is sitting around the +379 mark, with a $100 gamble potentially paying out a lump sum of +479.

According to the betting lines, you can forget about the championship/main event rounds. The over/under for this five-frame fight has been set at 2.5 rounds. Gamblers can lay the price on the ‘under’ for a cost of -120, or take the price on the ‘over’ at an underdog value of +114.

On the other side of the gate, Derrick Lewis’ ‘inside the distance’ bet is on deck with a sizable underdog value of +500.
