UFC Insights
Based out of Las Vegas, Nevada, the UFC helped mainstream mixed martial arts. The UFC started in 1993, and although there had been a long history of MMA, the UFC was revolutionary in organising and promoting the sport.It's now the leading organisation in MMA and features titles across many weight divisions for both men and women. UFC-numbered nights (like UFC 294) are the significant events to look out for, as they are the nights when title bouts are the card's main event. There is commonly one UFC-numbered night per month.
But the UFC schedule gives rise to more opportunities to bet UFC with their Fight Night cards. These are weekends where some of the rising talents of the sport get to showcase their talents or can feature fights that work towards a title shot.
Rounds of UFC action happen almost every weekend of the calendar year, giving rise to plenty of UFC betting.

UFC Betting Tips and Odds
If you want to bet on MMA, you can find popular markets here at Betsson. The 'Fight Winner' market is the most popular of all the ways to get a wager down on the UFC action—that's making a call on which fighter will have their arm raised by the referee at the end of the fight.It doesn't matter how the fighter wins, just that they do. The 'Fight Winner' market is a popular option for pulling together an accumulator UFC bet as well. A night of UFC action can include ten or more fights, and a big accumulator can be created by picking winners from some fixtures.
Punters can also dig deeper into the details of contests by backing the 'Method of Victory' odds in UFC betting. This is picking exactly how a selected fighter will be victorious. Will they settle the fight by a 'Submission' or a 'Knockout', or settle it on points after going the distance?
There are also prop bets to consider for UFC betting, such as 'Total Rounds' or whether the fight will last to the final bell in the 'To Go The Distance' market. The 'Points Spread' on how many points a fighter will finish ahead of their opponent on the official scorecard is another big alternative MMA betting market to explore.
