Woodley is looking to snap a three-fight losing skid when he meets Luque next Saturday night in the co-main event of UFC 260.

The UFC is giving Luque the chance to go in there and take on a former champion and see what he’s made of, and the oddsmakers like his chances. Luque is currently a -275 betting favorite, while the former champion Woodley is a +200 underdog at the moment.
