Whether you’re new to UFC betting or an avid bettor, this guide will provide all the information and tips to find the best MMA betting odds.

How Do UFC Betting Odds Work?

UFC betting odds explained simply is the way a bookmaker indicates the likelihood of either fighter winning in an MMA fight. Odds are also provided for other possible outcomes that aren’t necessarily related to the final result, such as the number of rounds a fight will have.

UFC fight night betting odds are also used to determine the potential payout for a bet. They indicate the likelihood of a particular outcome in a fight and are presented in three possible formats: decimal, fractional, and American odds. You can choose your preferred format by selecting it from the drop-down menu at the top-right of the page.

Let’s take an example with fractional odds, the standard format used in Irish sportsbooks like Betiton. If a fighter has odds of 6/1, it means that for every €1 you bet, you could potentially win €6 plus your initial stake back if the fighter wins.

UFC Betting Markets

Due to the fast-paced nature and format of UFC fights, there aren’t many betting markets available for this sport. Like most sports, the most straightforward way of placing a bet at an MMA betting website is to predict the winner of a fight, but there are also a few other options.

We’ve summarised the two most popular betting markets for UFC betting below:

• Moneyline Betting: Also known as UFC betting lines, this involves picking which fighter will win the match.
• Totals Betting: This betting market isn’t related to the fight’s result and is a type of over/under bet. This requires you to select whether the number of rounds will be over or under the number set by the bookmaker.

Live Betting on MMA & UFC Fights

Live betting on MMA is also available at Betiton Ireland and can be found in the in-play section. For many MMA fans, live betting is an exciting way to enhance the viewing experience and possibly capitalise on good odds.

Compared to mainstream sports, an MMA fight is only a few minutes long, which means live betting on it requires quick thinking and decision-making. However, it can also provide better winning odds because you can base your bets on your game observations, such as your fighter’s performance so far and the momentum in the game. Although live betting can be exciting, it’s important to stick to your strategy and budget and avoid getting carried away.

Best MMA Betting Tips by Betiton Ireland

In this section, we’ll share our best UFC betting tips to give you the best odds of success the next time you want to bet on an MMA fight. However, remember that while these tips may help you increase your winning odds, there’s no guarantee that your bets will win.

1. Understand the sport format: MMA betting requires a solid understanding of the sport, including knowledge of various fighting styles and fighters’ strengths and weaknesses.
2. Research the fighters: Before placing any bets, thoroughly research their recent performances and records. You should also consider the fighter’s age and any recent injuries.
3. Stay updated by reading the latest news: Keep up with the latest news, injuries, and fighter changes. MMA is unpredictable, and being aware of recent developments will help you make informed betting decisions.
4. Consider different ways of betting on MMA: Although UFC betting doesn’t offer many betting options, you should also consider over/under bets and live betting. Don’t limit yourself to betting only on the winner.  
5. Manage your bankroll: Set a budget for your MMA betting and stick to it no matter the result.
6. Watch the fights: You can improve your chances of winning by following the fights and watching them live rather than basing your bets solely on odds and predictions.
7. Never chase your losses and avoid emotional betting: Don’t let personal preferences or fandom cloud your judgment. Approach MMA betting with a clear, analytical mindset, and avoid making impulsive bets based on emotions.

What Is MMA?

MMA stands for mixed martial arts, a contact and combat sport popular worldwide. It involves two fighters using various fighting techniques and skills to win the fight. MMA is often associated with and sometimes confused with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the sports company that promotes many high-profile MMA fights. UFC has become synonymous with the world of MMA fights because it’s the biggest and most well-known MMA promotion company.

MMA online betting is quite big in Ireland, with thousands of punters betting on fights held throughout the year. While professional fighters typically have between two and four fights a year, the MMA calendar is packed with fights throughout the year.

Basic UFC Rules

The UFC provides a clear set of rules governing any professional MMA fight. These rules cover fouls, acceptable tactics, prohibited substances, techniques, protective gear, and time limits. If you’re interested in online UFC betting, it’s important to be familiar with the basic UFC rules.

A typical MMA fight is played over three rounds, lasting up to five minutes. A one-minute break is taken between each round. Title matches can have up to five rounds. Fighters are required to fight barefoot and wear approved shorts, a mouth guard, and protective gloves.

 A knockout occurs when any (legal) strike prevents the opponent from continuing the fight. If the fighter can’t get back up within a specified time limit – usually 10 seconds – the other fighter is declared a winner.

Another important move in MMA is submission, or ‘tapping out‘. This refers to when a fighter yields to their opponent by tapping the floor with their hand or foot, signalling that they’re giving up the fight. If a fighter submits, it results in an immediate defeat.

Various moves can constitute a foul, including, but not limited to, a strike to the back of the head or spine, hair pulling, throwing the opponent out of the fighting area, using abusive language, and so on. Only the referee can determine a foul and disqualify a fighter accordingly.
