€25 will earn you €14 if you fancy Conor McGregor to dethrone Jose Aldo.

The Vegas bookmakers have shortened the odds of The Notorious unifying the featherweight championship after watching his impressive TKO victory over Chad Mendes on Sunday night. Before Jose Aldo officially withdrew from the original UFC 189 headliner, McGregor was 10/13 to beat the Brazilian. But McGregor's performance means the interim featherweight champ opens up as a 14/25 favourite over Aldo which is a significant change in the market. And, just like they did in the build-up to McGregor's bout with Mendes, Irish money will pile on the Dubliner so expect those odds to shorten even more come fight time.
