The UFC follows up a memorable UFC 274 pay-per-view, with a massive fight night in relevance to the Light Heavyweight division.

Former Light Heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz appears in the octagon for the first time since he lost his belt to Glover Teixeira, set to face No. 3 ranked Aleksandar Rakic on Saturday, May 9th at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This fight was rescheduled from late March after Blachowicz suffered an injury in training, but will headline this fight ahead of UFC 275's main event that has Teixeira defending his title against Jiri Procházka on June 11th. This main event could set up the next championship fight this fall.

Overall, there are 11 fights on the card, so let's check out the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook:
