It’s not quite like last time, but Joanna Jedrzejczyk is still the betting favorite against Rose Namajunas . Champ Namajunas (7-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) will defend her strawweight title vs. Jedrzejczyk (14-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) in the UFC 223 co-headliner, which takes place April 7 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. The bout is an immediate rematch of their UFC 217 encounter, where Namajunas won with a first-round knockout of the previously undefeated Jedrzejczyk to claim the belt. It was shocking given Jedrzejczyk closed as a more than 8-1 favorite. Despite Namajunas’ dominant performance, Jedrzejczyk remains the favorite for the rematch, according to the Oddessa Line. Veteran MMA oddsmaker Joey Oddessa has set Jedrzejczyk at -225 with Namajunas coming back at +180. At those odds, a winning $100 bet on Jedrzejczyk would result in a net profit of $44.44 (implied win probability of 69 percent)
