MMA Fighting is continuing to grow in popularity and more people than ever before are watching major events such as UFA and Bellator.

You can bet on who will win a fight, or on the specific action that will take place in each round, ensuring that every second is full of excitement.
An Introduction to Betting on MMA Fighting
If you have never betted on MMA fights before then the most simple thing will be to bet on who will win, otherwise known as a moneyline bet. However, you will soon realise that the betting opportunities go far beyond this and you can place a range of interesting bets on many different aspects of a fight.
One popular thing to bet on is how long a fight will last, this is known as an Over/Under bet. If you think a fighter tends to start slow, but has greater stamina than his or her opponent, then you could bet on them to win the match and for there to be many rounds. You can also place bets on how a fight is won, whether by knockout, technical knockout, submission, or judges’ decision. UFC fight nights normally contain many fights and you can bet on many of them using a combination bet. If you think that you can pick a winner for each of the night’s fights, then you will receive far more generous odds than when betting on just one fight.
Tips for Placing MMA Bets
You can do a great deal of research before placing a bet on an MMA fight, and hopefully this will help you place more bets that are successful. You should consider each fighter’s recent form but also check to see if they have been injured or have had to undergo surgery that may affect how they perform. You can get an idea of this by watching the weight-ins; you may be able to get a sense if one of the fighters seems over confident, or if one seems tired. You can also look at the judges, some are known for making controversial decisions, and this may affect how you place your bets. There is a great deal to consider, but it can make betting much more fun.
