UFC & MMA Betting

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a fast-paced, thrilling, uncompromising combat sport that’s taken the globe by storm. Whilst MMA has been around for decades, it really took off as a professional sport with the first Ultimate Fighting Championship, UFC 1, in 1993. Since then, the UFC has become the dominant name in MMA, drawing the top fighters and bringing the sport to the world.

How do odds work on UFC/MMA?

The odds for MMA and UFC betting are written in the same way as you’ll see for other sports, as fractions like 10/1. Read this as a bet having one chance in 10 of happening. If you place a successful bet at 10/1 with £1, then you’d win £10 back plus your original £1, for a total of £11.

Fractional odds are often a little more complex, like 7/2. But the same rules apply. If you made a successful £2 bet, you’d get £7 of winnings and your £2 stake back, for a total of £9. If you made a successful £1 bet, you’d get £3.50 of winnings and your £1 stake back, for a total of £4.50.

Take a look at these examples of fractional odds and payouts to make sure they’re clear:

The odds for a bet are an estimation on how likely that bet is to be successful, such as a fighter to win a bout. The more likely the bet is to happen, the lower the odds and the lower the potential return. More unlikely bets will have longer odds and higher potential returns.

The odds for a fighter can be affected by a variety of factors, including:

- Recent form

- Experience

- Fighting style compared to their opponent

- The weight class they’re in 

Gossip and news can also influence odds, including rumours of an injury or problems in training.
