LAS VEGAS – Cody Brundage is the biggest underdog in UFC 300. In fact, he is the biggest underdog in UFC history.
But as far as Brundage (10-5 MMA, 4-4 UFC) is concerned, ahead of the biggest opportunity of his career at an opening spot on the main card, Bo Nickal (5-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) could be a great middleweight prospect – but he’s still just another man.
“The odds are what they are, but sometimes I feel like it’s just more of a narrative than people think,” Brundage said at Wednesday’s media day ahead of the card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. “At the end of the day, Bo Nickal never got hit – so for him to be that kind of favorite seems crazy to me. Obviously I’m a little biased, but this seems pretty wild. I know people think he’s like the second coming of Jesus Christ in MMA, but I just don’t see it.”
Online betting odds for Nickal range from 20-1 to 30-1. To put that into perspective, Amanda Nunes was a 12-1 favorite when she was defeated by Julianna Peña in 2021.
