Cormier is a 20-1 favorite in next fight, most one sided odds ever?

[soccerkick666**]

I have heard of high odds such as 4 to 1, or even 10 to 1 in fedor fights. But never have I heard of 20-1 odds, that is ridiculous. What are some other fights that come to mind that have had 20-1 odds? or what is the second most?

I think 20-1 is the record for a zuffa fight... can't think of any other fight. Even Jones/Anderson/GSP fights rarely go over 10-1 and they tend to be the biggest locks.

Mendes vs Meza
Anderson vs Bonnar
Any fight on AXS TV fights.

Tyson/Douglas was 42-1.

Mendes comes close at -1650 but not quite big a favorite as Cormier. Probably second biggest favorite in the history of zuffa ( ? ).

Anderson was -1350 vs Bonnar.

Wow I can't believe Dion Staring fought Akira Corassani in 2007. Akira is a 145er

Little Nog was -2500 against Sokoudjou according to Tapology...

Last time I checked Cormier was only -2000.

Pride.

If we are talking about all fights then I think Tyson/Douglas is the one or comes close. Anyone know the record of all time? ( whatever combat sport, k1, boxing, mma. )

To fulfill the Showtime contract.

There are many fights every year that exceed 20 to 1 odds. Froch's recent fight against Yusaf Mack (who isn't a terrible fighter, by any means) exceeded 20 to 1 on some books.

Rin Nakai was -3300 against Mika Haragai

Alright I guess I was mistaken, I thought you were complaining that I chose a Pride fight.

Welcome to the UFC Discussion forum.

What was Couture at versus Toney?

I just wanted to point out we should separate Zuffa and the rest. You can pick any fight you like.

Let's be honest Zuffa does a good job of avoiding ZOMG mismatches. That's why I think it would be interesting to know the zuffa record & the record of all time.

Tyson/Douglas seems to be the winner so far, anyone got a bigger mismatch?

Edit: It seems like Cormier is the biggest favorite in Zuffa history

Note: The funny thing is, Douglas pulled off the upset.

He wasn't that big of a favorite actually, lowest point was almost -700. Thought it was -1000. I guess people had higher hopes for Toney than I remembered, lol.
