UFC Fight Night 136: Moscow Final Last Minute Betting Odds - Hunt vs. Oleinik, Main Card Odds, Prelim Odds

UFC Fight Night 136 is only hours away, and the first ever Russian UFC event could not have been more anticipated. While Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor's fight is coming up in around less than a month's time, UFC 229 is only serving to give Hunt vs. Oleinik a big fight feel heading into the next UFC pay-per-view.

The Fight Night will also see the prodigal son return to the company, where he will face the likes of Blachowicz in his first fight back. Nikita Krylov's return fight could not have taken place in a better location or time, as a win in Russia for the Ukrainian fighter will see him take a step up and onto the main card of future UFC pay-per-views.

The four fights on the main card seem to have an unspoken theme, with most of the fighters having unbelievably long tenures with the company, but still, continue fighting in that position at the same time. Arlovski and Hunt are both veterans, and the Russian Oleinik has had a lot of fights under his belt already.

At the moment, it seems like things could not have been more unpredictable even if people tried. With both Hunt and Oleinik angling for a win in the main event, it will be impossible to say who will win until the fight actually happens.

With the prelims done, let's get into the odds for the Main card of the night.

#4 Thiago Alves vs Aleksei Kunchenko

In a fight which is critical for both the sides, Aleksei Kunchenko is set to make his Octagon debut against Thiago Alves. Alves is an experienced UFC veteran, who never quite had the fight that would separate him from the rest of the pack, but that has not stopped him from trying again and again.

On this occasion, he is set to face against the newcomer to the Octagon, Aleksei Kunchenko, who has a lot of Russian fights under his belt but will be looking to make an impact with his debut in UFC. The unbeaten run he has had till now sees him as the favourite over the veteran Alves.

Thiago Alves (+400) vs Aleksei Kunchenko (-600) - Favoured winner: Aleksei Kunchenko

#3 Andrei Arlovski vs Shamil Abdurakhimov

Andrei Arlovski is one of those fighters who never seemed to fade away. Although he lost on multiple occasions, he has also had spurts of winning form which has seen him stay relevant 12 years after he lost the Heavyweight Title to Tim Sylvia. While he did suffer a loss in his last fight at UFC 225, he will be looking to come back from it in a stronger form.

Shamil Abdurakhimov has racked up 3 wins and 2 losses since coming to UFC, and will look to avoid evening his record out, and to do that will need to pick up the all-important win against Arlovski in this fight.

Once again, the newcomer is the favoured fighter to win the fight.

Andrei Arlovski (+120) vs Shamil Abdurakhimov (-150) - Favoured winner: Shamil Abdurakhimov

#2 Jan Blachowicz vs. Nikita Krylov

After a long time away from the promotion, Nikita Krylov is finally back to make his name in UFC. He left after losing a fight in UFC 206 when he lost to Cirkunov. The fight would see him unable to continue the winning streak he had going, and tap out.

On this occasion, he will look for things to be different when he faces Jan Blachowicz. Blachowicz looks like his roller-coaster run has finally come to something more stable in the UFC, as he will look to pick up a win here and continue his three-fight unbeaten run for the company.

On this occasion, it is the prodigal son of the UFC who is favoured to pick up the win.

Jan Blachowicz (+125) vs Nikita Krylov (-155) - Favoured winner: Nikita Krylov

#1 Mark Hunt vs Aleksei Oleinik

A 44-year-old fighter main-eventing against a 41-year-old. That is the fight that everyone is waiting for on this night. Whoever said that UFC and Mixed Martial Arts is for younger sportsmen, has something to learn, and this fight might be the best example of that case.

Hunt and Oleinik are both veterans of the sport, and while Oleinik has a better record than Hunt, Hunt has a lot to fight for, with Dana White saying that his performance in this fight will determine whether or not he gets a new contract. Mark Hunt is no slouch and he will come out swinging against Oleinik.

Oleinik and Hunt both have a lot to prove, and with Oleinik being the home favourite, there is a lot that he has to prove. The pressure might just be enough to get to him on this occasion if he does not look out.

Mark Hunt (-135) vs Aleksei Oleinik (+105) - Favoured Winner: Mark Hunt
