Charles Oliveira vs. Justin Gaethje Odds: Betting Public Massively Backing Gaethje to Pull Upset at UFC 274

Since then, we've seen some interesting movement in Charles Oliveira vs. Justin Gaethje odds, as Gaethje's odds have begun to shorten.

In the end, the lightweight championship has been vacated. Justin Gaethje still wins the lightweight title if he is victorious in the UFC 274 main event, but if Oliveira wins then there will be no lightweight tile holder for the time being.

Charles Oliveira vs. Justin Gaethje odds are just about as close as they can get, and for good reason. Between the two of them, they have lost one fight in the last four years, and it was Gaethje's loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov, one of the greatest lightweights of all time.

But, one thing the Charles Oliveira vs. Justin Gaethje odds don't tell you is how different these two fighters are.

Justin Gaethje is a powerful striker. Sure, he's also an extremely talented wrestler and grappler, but he's made a name for himself in the past few years and a KO artist.

As for Oliveira, he has a good stand-up game as well, but he's the submission king. No, really. He holds the record for most submission victories in the UFC.

Between the clash of styles and the drama with Oliveria not making weight, it seems a though oddsmakers don't know which way to go with this fight.

The latest Charles Oliveira vs. Justin Gaethje odds have Oliveira as a -134 favorite while Gaethje sits as a +125 dog.
