According to recent odds from top UFC betting sites, Volkanovski is entering the bout as the -476.19 favourite. His successful title defenses and consistently strong performances have led oddsmakers to lean towards his retaining the featherweight title.
However, the unpredictable nature of Rodriguez’s fighting style has kept the odds interesting. The Mexican fighter’s unpredictability, combined with his demonstrated skill both in striking and on the mat, ensure that he can’t be discounted.
Volkanovski, recognising the unique challenges Rodriguez presents, has enlisted the expertise of Carl van Roon, an 11-time Taekwondo world champion, for his training camp.
