The Ultimate Fighter 25 finale is set to go down, this Friday night, and Bloody Elbow is bringing you a succulent platter of betting odds for you to dine on. The top of the billing will showcase the long awaited promotional debut for the former WSOF lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje(+145), as he is welcomed to the octagon by 16 UFC fight veteran Michael Johnson (-165). The winner of the 25th season of The Ultimate Fighter will also be decided this Friday, as finalists Jesse Taylor (-210) and Dhiego Lima (+160) will throw down in the co-main event.

The biggest betting favorite on the card comes by way of Tecia Torres (-360), who will be taking on the only TUF 25 Finale fighter that can be found north of +300, Juliana Lima. There are 2 pick’em bouts on the evening; Jessica Eye vs. Aspen Ladd and Elias Theodorou vs. Brad Tavares, with Eye and Tavares being found at both plus and minus odds, respectively.

Justin Gaethje vs. Michael Johnson: Lightweight

Both Justin Gaethje and Michael Johnson began their TUF 25 Finale betting lives with a favorite tag of around -120. The betting public likes them some MJ, as Johnson has moved to about -165, sending Gaethje to the underdog role at around +145.

Suggestions:

Justin Gaethje vs. Michael Johnson: Lightweight

If you’re going with Justin Gaethje (+145) to win his UFC debut by beating Michael Johnson (-165), then Gaethje inside the distance @ +196 is your play.

Dhiego Lima vs. Jesse Taylor: Welterweight

Dhiego Lima (+160) has an uncanny ability to get amazingly KO’d in the 1st round, and for that, he is labeled ‘un-bettable.’ Jesse Taylor (-210) has an uncanny ability to get amazingly sub’d in the 1st round, and for that, he is labeled ‘un-bettable.’ NO ACTION!
