The Ultimate Fighting Championship claims to be the MMA’s premier organization. It started its operation in 1993. In 2001, the Nevada Athletic Commission sanctioned UFC. It promotes mixed martial arts globally by holding a series of tournaments.
Mixed martial arts have been in history for almost 5,000 years. However, because of this organization, it becomes increasingly popular. It gathered all the best fighters around the globe, holding tournaments once a month.
How to Bet
If you want to bet for the UFC markets, you should find a bookmaker that accommodates your betting style and needs. It should also be reputable where you can safely place your money. You can find them by simply browsing the web and doing some research about them.
It will help to compare the features, services, and promotions that they offer to maximize the benefits that you can get from them. Read the terms and conditions, and the FAQs.
After choosing your bookmaker, you can register for an account and have it verified by following the bookmaker’s instructions.
When you already have an account, you can already deposit some money and start placing your bets on your chosen markets.
Media Streaming
Watching pay-per-view is the only way that you can watch the fights. Because of its increasing popularity, public viewing is limited.
If you do not want to watch on a Pay TV, your next option is to go to a bar or a pub that allows you to view the UFC fights.
Betting
The UFC is no different among any other sports even though the fights take place individual against individual and not team against team. There are still factors to consider to get better odds for winning, and there are a lot of markets to place your bet.
In this sporting event, the head-to-head is also a popular form of betting.
Aside from it, the other famous markets among the punters are determining the round the fight will end, Method of Victory, Total Rounds, and Methods and Round Combo.
Method of Victory
As mentioned, the Method of Victory is popular among punters. In this market, the punters will determine how a fighter will win. These methods are by points, knock-out or technical knock-out, draw, or submission.
The most valuable prediction is if you believe that the round will end with submission or knock-out. The least is winning by points. Although punters can bet on a draw, only a few place their bets in this decision because it rarely happens in UFC.
Head-to-Head
Probably the reason why head-to-head betting is famous among punters in almost any other sport is its straight-forward approach. All that the punters must do is to hope that their chosen player will win.
It is highly profitable, especially for punters, with a vast knowledge of the history of the player’s performance. It also helps to know the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses in the UFC.
