UFC Betting
UFC is a promotion within the world of MMA and since its creation in 1993, the events have become the leading promotions within the sport, where you'll find some of the biggest names featured on the cards.
Within UFC, there are 12 weight divisions for fighters to compete in.
The men's UFC includes:
- Strawweight
- Flyweight
- Bantamweight
- Featherweight
- Lightweight
- Super Lightweight
- Welterweight
- Super Welterweight
There are only four classes for the women's UFC:
- Strawweight
- Flyweight
- Bantamweight
- Featherweight.
For each weight division that exists, there is a title to be won. However, fighters must earn that chance at a title by progressing up the rankings in their weight division.
When it comes to UFC betting markets, you can find odds for both the women's and men's events, including major events highly anticipated by fans of the sport.
How UFC Works
For a fighter to be successful in UFC fights, there are various approaches they can take to win. The first is via knockout, which can be achieved by a fighter physically knocking out the opponent or forcing them into submission.
Alternatively, a fight can be won via decision. This only comes into play if a fight goes the distance and all five rounds have been completed. Here, the three judges will decide on the fighter that performed the best across each of the rounds based on points that the judges award.
Prop betting enables you to predict how a fight will end based on the abovementioned methods.

UFC Outright Betting Markets
Outright betting for the UFC allows you to place bets ahead of the events. Some of the most common outright options include:
Outright winner - Predict who you believe will win the fight. This can be more specific with options to predict how the fight will be won. For example, you could bet on Fighter A to win via knockout. These are often referred to as Prop bets.
Futures - Bet on the outcome of fighters achieving titles in the future. This could include an individual winning the Welterweight title next year as an example.
Round betting - Place a wager on how many rounds will be completed during a fight. This can be done in the form of over/under betting, allowing you to predict whether there will be over or under a set amount of rounds in a fight.
UFC Live Betting Markets
With UFC, betting is not limited to the period before an event. You can also bet in-play whilst following the fight.
Wins - Spectating a fight can give you an idea of who will likely come out on top. During the fight, you can still place a bet on the fighter you believe will win; however, live odds are updated to reflect this likelihood.
Rounds - During the fight, correctly predict which round you think the fight will finish on. Viewing the results of previous fights can tell you a lot about how individuals approach fights. Winning a fight into early rounds via knockout could point towards their aggressive style and skill, which could influence the number of rounds they go in upcoming fights.
