Can someone explain why Bader isn't a much bigger favorite? Did he not knock Fedor out with one punch last time they fought? Is Fedor not getting near 50 years old? Seems like the odds should be a lot wider.

Yeah it’s just another stat at the end of the day. I would’ve guessed you’d be in the 100+ range though.

Maybe because of the age. I know Fedor is almost 50, but he was still in his 40s last time they fought. Bader was still in his "prime" being a 35 year old heavyweight. I feel like he may have deteriorated more than Fedor in that time
