DraftKings Sportsbook, as well as other online/mobile sportsbooks, launched in the state of Michigan just in time for Conor McGregor’s UFC return.
McGregor, still one of it not the biggest draws in the sport, fights Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 on Saturday in a highly-anticipated rematch. The two last fought in 2014, with McGregor winning by first round stoppage. Despite Poirier being much more active than McGregor in recent years, McGregor was a -305 favorite at DraftKings on Friday afternoon. Poirier was +250.
