\u201cNotorious\u201d is an underdog \u2014 at least for now.<\/p>\n

And if the early betting lines are any indication, oddsmakers aren\u2019t exactly siding with the Irish superstar.<\/p>\n

According to BetOnline<\/a>, McGregor has opened as a +235 underdog, while Holloway sits comfortably as a -270 favorite \u2014 and within a couple of hours, the line juiced to +270 and -330<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Holloway has stayed active against elite competition. Despite a tough loss to Charles Oliveira in March 2026 that cost him his BMF title<\/a>, \u201cBlessed\u201d has competed eight times during McGregor\u2019s absence and remains one of the most durable and high-volume strikers in the sport.<\/p>\n

Now, more than a decade later, they could run it back \u2014 at very different stages of their careers.<\/p>\n

What say you, Maniacs? Is +235 enough to tempt a McGregor bet?<\/p>\n
