UFC Odds

An Overview of UFC Odds

Competitive UFC fight odds are one of the biggest reasons Sportzino is considered a top social sportsbook in the US. Your UFC selections on our platform will get bigger win amounts than anywhere else. This holds true for all fights and all markets, including our MMA odds. Whether you're picking the winner of a long-awaited bout or picking the over/under on the number of rounds, our lines ensure you get the highest possible return.

UFC odds help you understand the fight better. These numbers tell you instantly who's favored to win and your potential wins if you make specific selections. For example, when you see a fighter listed at -250, they're the favorite, which is evident from the minus sign in front. It means you'd need to play 250 coins to win 100.

Meanwhile, if you spot a fighter with UFC odds of +200, that's an underdog because of the positive sign that precedes the number. It also means that you can win 200 coins if you play 100 coins and win. Basically, an underdog pick can get you better returns, but such fighters have lower winning chances than the favorites.

The UFC lines change dynamically based on multiple factors, such as the fighters' recent performances, win-loss records, and head-to-head matchups. Even the number of players picking a fighter can also affect the odds. If you enjoy live predictions, we have updated UFC lines for you. We update these in real time and use color indicators to show when there is an increase or decrease in the odds.

Other Odd Displays to Note

The plus and minus signs assigned to numbers are for American odds. This format is also our default display because it is easy to understand. However, two other popular odd formats to note are decimal and fractional.

Both appear just as they sound. For instance, decimal odds for MMA expert picks will be something like 2.5, 3.5, and the like. They show you the potential returns you can get based on how many coins you use for the selection. For instance, if you want to play 50 coins on UFC fight night odds of 2.5, you can expect 125 coins in return.

Meanwhile, fractional odds are slightly different. For instance, if you see odds of 7/2, then note that the top number shows your returns. The bottom number indicates the number of coins you must play to get those returns. So, for UFC odds of 5/4, you receive 500 coins if you play 400 coins and win.

Different Types of UFC Fight Predictions

UFC is not so rich when it comes to market selection, especially not when compared to sports like football, basketball, or tennis. Nevertheless, there are a few interesting ways in which you can guess the outcome of a given fight:

• Winner — The simplest and most popular UFC prediction, challenging you to guess who wins the match. Its straightforward approach makes it the best starting point for beginners. You can upgrade to more complex markets as you get the hang of our social sportsbook.
• Total — This market revolves around the number of rounds. For example, will the fight end in three rounds or more or two rounds or less? You pick only one of both options per selection. For instance, you can select just “over” when making total selections for a specific bout.
• Will the fight go the distance — A simple yes or no market where you need to answer whether the two fighters will end the bout without anyone being knocked out. It’s another simple market that is highly recommended for beginners.
• Winning method — Here, you need to predict the winner and how they'll win the fight (by KO, by decision, or by submission). You can also forecast that the fight will end in a draw.
• Winning method double chance — This is an easier version of the previous market. Here, you can lock in two out of the three possible methods: KO/points, KO/submission, or points/submission.
• Winner and exact rounds — A precise prediction of the exact period in which a fighter will win. For example, you can pick Volkanovski in three or Topuria in five. The exact combination will depend on the bout.
• Prop Predictions — If you want to spice up your fight night predictions, props are your ticket to the action! Rather than simply selecting the winners, props allow you to predict unpredictable outcomes, such as a knockout in round two or a submission finish.
• Parlays — This lets you string together multiple picks for massive potential wins! Stack up winners from different fights, combine props, or mix and match your picks however you want. However, you need to nail every pick to win.

You won't see all these markets for every fight. The more popular the fight, the more markets there will be. If it's a low-level contest, you may only get to choose the winner and the over/under on the number of rounds. This same rule also applies to our KSW odds.

UFC Expert Free Tips for Making Successful Predictions

Here are a few suggestions on how to make the best picks for UFC:

• Learn everything you can about the fighters — Don't just watch the highlights—dig deep into those fight camps! Check the fighters' form, H2H history, how their fight styles suit each other, and anything else to help you make an informed decision.
• Consider backing the underdogs — Upsets in the UFC are relatively common, so consider a long-shot prediction occasionally and allow yourself a chance to multiply your coin stack.
• Location can play a significant role — Keep in mind the fight's location. Different climates can affect the fighters differently, not to mention that the home crowd can always push a local fighter toward victory.
• Keep your heart out of it — If you're a UFC fan, you probably have a favorite fighter. However, you shouldn't let your biases cloud your judgment when making predictions. Make picks based on statistical and objective assessments rather than on what you want to happen.
