UFC Betting Odds and Markets
Punters can access UFC betting odds on several different markets, generating multiple potential predictions. Industry leaders like bet365 also offer powerful bet builder tools allowing you to roll multiple betting markets into one. Some of the most common options include:
- Fight Winner – Predicting the fight winner is the simplest and most common UFC betting market. It involves a straight wager on the winner of a bout regardless of the method of victory or any other factor.
- Total Rounds – For a slightly more nuanced UFC betting strategy, many punters try to guess the total number of rounds during a fight. You can generally enjoy better odds on these more specific predictions than for outright fight winner bets, but they are much more difficult to call correctly.
- Round-by-Round Betting – If you know a fighter tends to start strong in the first few rounds before faltering as the fight goes on, you could take advantage of round-by-round betting. This allows punters to place predictions on the winner of each round rather than the bout as a whole.
- Method of Victory – Wagering on the method of victory is a popular option at UFC betting sites, especially for MMA enthusiasts who know each fighter’s strengths and weaknesses. For example, Khabib Nurmagadov was a known submission specialist, while Anderson Silva loved a knockout victory. You could also choose a technical knockout, disqualification, decision, or technical decision win.
- Will the Fight Go the Distance – Leading bookies also offer UFC betting odds on whether or not a fight will last the full three or five rounds. This is a great way to bet on a favourite but receive more attractive odds, as you’ll also have to predict whether they will stop the fight before the final bell.
