Esparza is the slight favorite at -155, Jedrzejczyk at +150. That’s pretty much a pick ’em fight, which should hopefully translate into an exciting title match-up.
Elsewhere on the card, former UFC Welterweight champion Johny Hendricks is the notable favorite over Matt Brown, -340 to +310, while Alistair Overeem is a slight favorite at -195 to opponent Roy Nelson’s +185.
