The UFC is going global.

UFC 275 is live from Singapore on Saturday, June 11 with a pair of title fights headlining the card. Light Heavyweight champ Glover Teixeira will make his first title defense in the main event against Jiri Prochazka, who has a pair of devastating KO's since debuting in the promotion.

Before that, Valentina Shevchenko will make her seventh title defense at flyweight against 19-1 Taila Santos. She enters as an overwhelming favorite to retain her belt.

Let's take a look at the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook and biggest storyline ahead of UFC 275

  • Ramona Pascual (+145) vs. Joselyne Edwards (-175)

Teixeira Underdog in First Light Heavyweight Title Defense

At 42 years old, Teixeira secured UFC gold at UFC 267 as a +215 underdog to Jan Blachowicz. He is in a similar position on Saturday against the 28-3-1 Prochazka, who disposed of Dominik Reyes in his prior fight.

'The Brazilian Pitbull' is used to this underdog price. He has won six straight fights as no higher than a -125 favorite, and has cashed as an underdog north of +170 in his last three outings. Overall, Teixeira is 33-7 in his MMA career and will look to continue his improbable run atop the Light Heavyweight weight class with another upset.

Shevchenko Expected to Retain Flyweight Championship

This is only the third time Shevchenko will be below a -1000 favorite since moving down to flyweight, currently 8-0 with six title defenses. While she may be shorter than usual, she is still the biggest favorite on the UFC 275 card, sitting at -625 against Talia Santos.

Shevchenko has dominated everyone in her path, and the next challenger is Santos, who is 19-1 in her professional career, riding a four-fight win streak that includes 3 decision victories.
