A big odds swing has happened in a battle of Top-10 women’s flyweights on tonight’s UFC on ESPN 11 card as Roxanne Modafferi takes on Lauren Murphy live from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Modafferi is one of the most experienced women’s MMA fighters ever with a 24-16 record. 3-3 in the UFC, she defeated Maycee Barber in January, and is ranked No. 6 in the division. “The Happy Warrior” has nine stoppages in her 24 victories, and despite 54% of the handle and 51% of the bets are on her to win so far, it took a big line move to get there.

She’s getting 46% of the cash and 49% of the tickets supporting her, but has gone from a decent-underdog to almost a coin flip from the books.
