Get your popcorn ready.

On June 10, following Oliveira's upset over Beneil Dariush, BetOnline opened Makhachev as -400 chalk (Oliveira +340).

The odds shifted toward the dog over the first 24 hours, dropping to -350, +285, and that's where we still stand.

Fight Odds

Charles Oliveira +285

Islam Makhachev -350

Additionally dozens of prop bets will be offered for the main event as well as the undercards, which currently include the following but will be expanded.

Khamzat Chimaev vs. Paulo Costa

Ikram Aliskerov vs. Nassourdine Imavov

In their prior bout at UFC 281 last October, Makhachev opened as a -300 favorite (Oliveira +250) but was bet down to -240 by fight night.

UFC 294 marks the promotion's 18th visit to Abu Dhabi.

Currently, oddsmakers are licking their chops at the prospect of top fights taking place around the start of football.

Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz, billed as Ready 4 War, is scheduled to take place on August 5, 2023 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas and is also expected to draw massive betting action.
