Canadians favoured to win almost every fight at UFC 297

Canadians are the early betting favourites in seven of eight fights that feature a Canadian at UFC 297. UFC 297 is a little less than a month away and will take place in Toronto, Canada. Eight Canadians are on the card. None of them will fight another Canadian, so the UFC 297 card will have eight fighters step into the octagon with hometown advantage, two women and six men.

The co-main event is a women’s bantamweight title fight.
