The larger favorites noted by a negative number indicate that you have to risk that much in order to win $100.

Underdogs are noted by a positive number which represents the amount of money you would win on a $100 bet.

So if Brock were indeed -1800 he'd be the heavy favorite (almist 95% chance of winning) and you'd have to bet $1800 to win $100(plus your $1800 back) but he's -335 which means you only bet $335 to win $100 which is huge difference.

Roman being +1500 would mean he's the big underdog (6% chance of winning) and you would win $1500 per $100 (plus your $100 bet back) you bet. But he's actually 1/2 that at +700

+/- odds are considered American odds you put them in the top to get your payout and other odds

Also in a case where there's two sides at negative odds the higher number (risk more to win same $100) would be considered the slight favorite.
