Opening Odds for Mauricio Ruffy vs. Michael Chandler at UFC White House

Lightweight stars collide on the South Lawn of the White House, as Mauricio Ruffy takes on Michael Chandler at UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday, June 14.

Ruffy (13–2, 4–1 UFC) rebounded from his first UFC loss with a dazzling second-round knockout of Rafael Fiziev at UFC 325 in January. The “Fighting Nerds” product is one of the most exciting strikers on the active roster, boasting a 92% finish rate with 12 knockouts.

Chandler (23–10, 2–5 UFC) has lost three straight bouts, punctuated by a third-round knockout from Paddy Pimblett at UFC 314 last April. Still, “Iron” Mike is a human highlight reel that remains must-see TV — whether he wins or not.

Ruffy enters as a heavy -298 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, while Chandler sits as a +240 underdog.
