Ronda Rousey opens as betting favorite over Cyborg, Tate

Jason Silva-USA TODAY Sports

In a world where you can bet on nearly anything, it shouldn't be a shock to many that there is already a betting line for a bout that isn't close to coming together yet. Ronda Rousey and Cristiane 'Cyborg' Justino have been jawing at each other about a possible fight for years, and Cyborg announced her latest intention to get down to 135 pounds yesterday on ESPN.

Even before that though - in fact, just a few hours after Rousey beat Bethe Correia in 34 seconds at UFC 190, a betting line for Rousey vs. Cyborg came up. This will not be Rousey's next fight though. She'll be fighting Miesha Tate for a third time in her next bout, and there's a line out for that bout as well. Here's how they look.

For those new to BestFightOdds, they take the lines from many sports books and offer the best on each side in the handy chart above. If you'd like to see what each book is offering individually, you can do that over at their site.

It's no surprise that Rousey is a favorite in both bouts, and a massive favorite over an opponent she's beaten twice already. Is anyone willing to make a wager on a bout that might not even happen?
