UFC Betting: Walker vs Hill Odds Preview
After a few changes to the main card, a light heavyweight bout is the main event this weekend at UFC Fight Night: Walker vs Hill.
The main event was supposed to be a lightweight bout between Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev, but a visa issue for Fiziev forced a postponement. Instead, the headliner features light heavyweights Johnny Walker and Jamahal Hill. At Bovada Sportsbook, Hill is a -250 favorite and Walker a +200 underdog.
