The final betting odds are in for tonight’s UFC 216, and Tony Ferguson (-260) has puled away even further from Kevin Lee (+240)as the favorite to win the UFC’s interim lightweight title. Anytime Demetrious Johnson is on a card, chances are he is involved in the widest odds of the evening, and UFC 216 is no exception. Johnson clocks in at a insane -1100, to the card’s largest underdog, Ray Borg at around +900. Fabricio Werdum (-245) is still favored over the returning Derrick Lewis (+225), and Beneil Dariush (-215) is favored in his return over the streaking Evan Dunham (+195). The pick’em fight of the night still belongs to Matt Schnell vs. Marco Beltran, with Schnell at -110 and Beltran from -110 to +100.

Tonight’s UFC 216 main card will air live on Pay-Per-View at 10:00 P.M. ET with the prelims starting at 8:00 P.M. ET on FX. The Exclusive Fight Pass prelims will begin at 6:30 P.M. ET.

Tony Ferguson vs. Kevin Lee: Interim Lightweight Title

Ferguson opened up as the solid favorite at -185, but has since pulled away to around -260, with Lee’s line shifting from an initial +145 up to +240.

Suggestions:

Walt Harris vs. Mark Godbeer: Heavyweight

Walt Harris tends to finish up in under 1.5 rounds, and Mark Godbeer might be asking for it here. If you’re not high on Walt Harris @ -320, then Under 1.5 rounds @ -127 is worth a look.

Tony Ferguson vs. Kevin Lee: Interim Lightweight Title

Kevin Lee is a live dog at +240.
