What does double negative odds mean?

A $110 bet on either fighter returns $210 in they win.
 
It means it's a close ass fight

I just happened to glance at the Rothwell vs JDS odds and both are about -110

Not a big gambler but someone here has to be. Is this even possible?

It means it's dead even, minus the bit that bookie profits from. They're both essentially very thin favorites. Both fighters having negative odds like this isn't wrong. If they both had +110 odds, it'd mean the bookie fucked up, you could place a $100 bet on both and be guaranteed a $10 dollar profit.
 
Means the bookies got it about right.
 
It means $110 bet gets you $100 winnings. The house always has to have favorable odds. The juice is usually never exactly opposite at the same time (ex: +110 & -110).
 
It means that if you are positive that one fighter is going to win, bet the house. MMA sucks to bet on because 9 times out of 10 the heavy favorite wins, which doesn't win you shit for money. But if it's even, or you got a live dog, and you are just positive that your guy is gona win, bet big.

Yeah, the negative is usually larger so you have to bet more on the favorite to win a good amount and the positive is usually smaller so you win less if the underdog wins like -340/+280 for Jones/DC and -440/+350 for MM/Cejudo.
 
double negative means its really one positive odd
 
It's called the juice or the vig. Bookies have to make money on the fight, so with equal action on both sides they will be guaranteed a profit, since they only have to pay out 100 for every 110 dollars bet on either side. Odds shift based on the action bettors give both sides of the potential bet, so if you see the odds shifting to more favorable odds for the bettor, it means the bookies need more money on that side to guarantee their profit margin.
