This isn't out of the norm for UFC fans. FIrst, Masvidal is a fan favorite so naturally, you're going to see more money come in on him and also with the lack of value on Covington, people are hoping for the big payout with an upset from Masvidal.
Jorge Masvidal packs a heavy punch so if you're getting in on the action for UFC 272, you might want to hope that he catches Covington off guard and knocks him out. 16 of Jorge Masvidal's 31 wins have come via the knockout if that's something that's interesting to you.
Ironically, these odds are very different from when we first heard rumblings of this fight. Back in December of 2020, Colby Covington was originally a -140 favorite vs Jorge Masvidal at +110 as an underdog.
Masvidal getting knocked out by Kamara Usman certainly didn't help his cause. While Covington also lost to Usman, he lost in round five by decision which seems to be a main cause for this change.
