UFC Freedom 250: Sky Bet's key markets for the historic White House card

In what promises to be one of the most highly anticipated combat sports events in history, the White House lawn in Washington, D.C. hosts UFC Freedom 250. The historic card is headlined by two blockbuster title fights.

In the co-main event, two-division champion Alex Pereira looks to make UFC history by becoming the first fighter to win world titles in three different weight classes when he challenges Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight title.

After that, undefeated lightweight king Ilia Topuria puts his belt on the line against fan favourite veteran Justin Gaethje in a mouthwatering championship showdown. 

Topuria, whose remarkable résumé includes victories over former champions Alexander Volkanovski, Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira, is a heavy 1/5 favourite to extend his unbeaten record.

The bookmakers, however, are struggling to separate Pereira and Gane, with the former 5/6 to pull of the win, and his opponent 10/11 to leave with the heavyweight crown. 

For those backing a Pereira and Topuria double, Sky Bet have boosted the odds to an enticing 3/1 for both fighters to win by KO/TKO.

The aforementioned victories over Volkanovski, Holloway and Oliveira all came via devastating knockout, while Pereira has built his reputation as one of the sport’s most feared finishers, with eight of his 10 UFC wins ending inside the distance by knockout.
