Free UFC Winner Picks

The most popular form of UFC betting is the money line, most commonly known as picking a Straight Up winner. VegasInsider UFC Expert Money Line Picks focuses on which fighter will win each fight, regardless of how the fighter wins. 

Free UFC Round Total (Over-Under) Picks

Undecided on a winner but convinced a fight will end in a certain round? Bettors can select whether UFC bouts will go over or under a certain round. This is similar to point total betting, where an oddsmaker will set a line for bettors to wager whether the total will go over or under the given line. Most UFC round total lines are set at 2.5, while main events are typically 3.5.  

Free UFC Method of Victory Picks

Some fights go the distance, while others end before the final bell. Bettors can wager on whether a fight will reach the final bell, or finish before. This also leaks into method of victory wagering, where bettors can select a specific way the match ends. Our VegasInsider UFC betting experts provide the best picks that range from fight winner to specific methods of victory.

How to Bet on UFC

If you want to learn about how to bet on the UFC, you’ve come to the right place. Before you can start wagering, it’s essential to understand how the sport works. You’ll need to know the rules, fighters, and how to calculate UFC odds before you can make any accurate selections.

How Does Betting UFC Matchups Work?

Betting on Boxing or Mixed Martial Arts is fairly simple and the matchup bet is the most common wager. For each fight, you’re always going to have a favorite and an underdog. For example, Jone Jones is the favorite (-160) and Tom Aspinall is the underdog (+140). Bettors would risk $160 on Jones to win $100. If you bet $100 on Aspinall and he won the fight, your return would be $140.

How Does Betting UFC Totals (Over-Under) Work?

Another wagering option is betting on the Total or the number of rounds the fight will last. Bettors will then decide if they believe the fight will go longer or short than the distance set by the oddsmakers. For example, the ‘over/under’ in the Jones vs. Aspinall fight is set at 1 ½ rounds. If you believe the fight will go longer than 1 ½ rounds, then you need the fight to go one full round and half of the 2nd round or more than two and half minutes. If you wager on the under, then you need the fight to end before the halfway mark of the 2nd round or under the two and half minute mark. When wagering on this bet type, it doesn’t matter which fighter wins the match.

How Does Betting Final Result/Method of Victory Props Work?

Similar to the “Totals” wager, the Final Result Props was another option created by oddsmakers to minimize risk for the bettors and in some cases offer higher payouts. Not only do you have to pick the winner of the fight, but you must also select the way the fighter will win. In Boxing a fighter can win two ways, by decision or knockout. In MMA a fighter can win by decision, knockout and submission. The knockout option also includes technical knockouts and disqualification. For example, if you bet $100 on Alistair Aspinall (+260) to win by knockout against Walt Jones and he won by decision or lost the fight, you would lose $100. If Aspinall won the fight by knockout, then you would receive $260 plus your initial stake of $100.
