Our expert UFC tips provide the best value bets from thorough insight and research across a variety of markets in each weight division.

What is UFC Betting?

UFC is one of the fastest-growing sports in the betting space, and you can utilise knowledge of boxing markets when placing bets on the UFC.

There is always a wide variety of boosts and markets across each UFC Premium Live event and Fight Night card. These markets cover some of the biggest fighters in combat sports like Conor McGregor, Paddy Pimblett, Jon Jones, Islam Makhachev, and Ilia Topuria.

As with all sports betting and gambling of any kind, don't chase your losses, don't bet more than you can afford to lose, and always gamble responsibly, 18+.

Understanding UFC Betting Odds

Firstly, set your odds preference, whether that be decimal or fractions, so you can better understand what chance the bookies are giving a particular outcome.

The odds work in the same way for betting on any other sport; converting them into percentages (implied probability) can make them easier to understand. For example, a bet priced at evens (1/1 or 2.00) has an implied probability of 50%.

There are lots of over/under lines in UFC betting, for example: 'Ilia Topuria v Justin Gaethje - Under 2.5 Rounds'. A bet on unders would win in this market if the fight ends before 2 minutes 30 seconds into the 2nd round; the overs bet would win if it goes past this.

3-Round and 5-Round fights

The majority of UFC fights are three 5-minute rounds. Title fights and main events are always five 5-minute rounds.

Essentially, title fights and main events can go 25 minutes, whilst all others can go 15 minutes.

Live & In-Play UFC Betting

The odds change regularly and massively in-play UFC betting, which can present opportunities to lock in a profit before a fight is over.

For example, the odds of a pre-fight favourite can change drastically the longer a fight plays out. They may get dropped, or even held in ground control for a long time, resulting in their price drifting.

UFC Betting Exchanges Explained

In a UFC betting exchange, you'll bet against other bettors rather than the bookmaker. One bettor sets the odds to back or lay an outcome. To 'back' something is betting on it to happen; to 'lay' something is betting on it not to happen.

The Betfair Exchange is the biggest one in the UK.
