Markets are the different outcomes that bettors are placing their bets on to either happen or not happen. UFC bettors have different markets to pick from than other sports. Let’s look at some popular UFC markets to know.
Moneyline → One of the most popular betting markets in UFC betting as with any sport is the moneyline bet where a punter simply chooses a man or woman to win the bout. If that person does emerge victorious, whether by KO, TKO, decision, or otherwise, your bet’s a winner, if not, you’re a loser.
Round Betting → The typical length of a UFC fight is three rounds, but a title or main event fight goes five. Round betting is wagering on which round the fight will likely end in. You don’t have to pick the victorious fighter, just the round the bout will end in.
Prop Betting → UFC doesn’t have prop bets as much as some sports, but there are still some to choose from, like the method of victory prop. This predicts what way the winning fighter will win, so for example, submission, decision, TKO, and more.
Futures → Futures bets are common in most other sports where they have a set season start and season end date, but that’s not so with the UFC, which makes futures bets very tough. You would be hard-pressed to find any, but long-term bets on up-and-coming fighters to eventually become the champ could be out there.
Parlays → One highly popular way to bet on the UFC for Canadians is to do parlays. Parlays are when multiple bets are joined into one single bet, with all events needing to occur for the bet to hit. UFC bettors can place parlays on an entire card, picking each fighter to win, and some can put multiple bets on the same fight if their sportsbook allows it.
