The oddsmakers have released the opening betting odds for a potential rematch between light heavyweights Jon Jones and Ryan Bader.<\/p>\n
Jones, the UFC light heavyweight champion, and Bader, a double champ in Bellator, first collided back at UFC 126 in February 2011 when both fighters were young, undefeated prospects. Jones wound up submitting Bader with a guillotine choke that night, a finish that led to him getting a title shot against Mauricio Rua at UFC 128 in March 2011. Bader, meanwhile, went on to have a great career himself. The rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n
With Jones now locked into a contract dispute with the UFC and calling for his release, Bader recently suggested that he could have a rematch with his former rival inside the Bellator cage<\/a>. With Jones still under UFC contract for the foreseeable future, that doesn’t seem like something that will happen anytime soon. But in the off chance the UFC decides to give Jones his release, the oddsmakers are already giving out the odds for a rematch.<\/p>\n Check out the odds for Jones vs. Bader 2, courtesy of BestFightOdds<\/a>.<\/p>\n Future Events: Jon Jones (-275) vs. Ryan Bader (+200) https:\/\/t.co\/VO30HT1Mz6<\/a> @JonnyBones<\/a> @ryanbader<\/a><\/p>\n — BestFightOdds (@BestFightOdds) June 9, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
