And right now, every expert putting picks out there has Alexander "The Great" winning this one. The Aussie striker has proven himself more than capable in most, if not all, situations. Whether he's laying a trap to catch an opponent to make a mistake or proving that he's got the endurance of a cardio god, Volkanovski seems like a sure thing.
Jung may not have the unblemished record that the champ has, but he's bringing some smarts to the fight. Just as Volkanovski likes to set traps, Jung is big on counters. His win-loss record also features more than a few shockingly fast and brutal KOs, which would likely be the only way to get an upset here.
DraftKings has Volkanovski as the overwhelming favorite at -720 (bet $720 to win $100), and Jung as the +500 underdog (bet $100 to win $500).
Right below them on the card, we've got a title unification match to decide the true UFC Bantamweight Champion. DraftKings has the current champ Aljamain Sterling as the underdog (+350) and the interim champ Petr Yan (-475) as the favorite. Their last match ended a bit oddly, with UFC 259 ending in a title win via DQ. Sterling took home the title due to an intentional illegal knee strike. UFC 267 was supposed to see the rematch, but Sterling's neck issues pushed that back.
Here's everything you need to know about UFC 273 live streams, including the recent changes to the main card and prelims.
