Today betting on MMA has already turned into a real business market, where everybody can try his/her hand at. Before you start gambling, pay attention to the key aspects of MMA itself.

The main particularities of MMA fighting

Among the common features are:

• the presence of promotions; Tournaments are usually held within a specific organization. The most influential company holding tournaments is the UFC. No wonder that UFC fights are more often found in bookmakers’ lines. The organization has the largest number of known sportsmen all over the world. Also you can find stakes on the other promotion’s battles, like Bellator, M-1, etc. Such ones are less common in the bookmaker’s lineup.
• staginess and spectacularity;
  These are the main requirements for today, that’s why fighters always arrange shocking trash-talks and heat up the tension before the fight. It’s considered to be the key reason for MMA popularity.
• unpredictability;
  It’s interesting that favourites often lose here. No wonder that sometimes underdogs win against the superstars in sequence. In MMA battles everything is possible.
• irregularity of fights;
  As a rule, a professional athlete fights at most 2-3 times a year. Accordingly, rest intervals between meetings sometimes exceed half a year – the time for which some sportsmen have time to lose their physical shape.
• variety of weight classes;
  There are 8 weight classes: from the lightest to the heaviest weight. Pay particular attention to the transitions of fighters from one category to another. Often such athletes fail to start in a new category. The weight-in procedure is also a stressful event for fighters, because before it they often have to lose weight in a hurry, to “break in” to the category.
• duration and number of the rounds;
  The round lasts 5 minutes. In addition to the duration of the rounds, the number of rounds is also different. Most matches have 3 rounds. In title fights, there can be 5 such stages.
• variety of fighting styles.
  It’s interesting to watch the fight, where one competitor has chosen the “puncher” style and the other prefers to perform ‘on the ground’.

Which types of MMA bets can be found?

The line on MMA events almost does not differ from boxing. Also, most matches do not have a line and only stakes on the victory or the loss are offered. Bookmakers prefer to announce the roster for battles of famous (well-known) competitors, as a result, the public interest increases significantly.
Besides total rounds and early victory bets on whether the fight will end by a painful (choking) hold or knockout. Attractive odds are offered for the victory by a decision of the judges, and gamesters can gamble both on the unanimous and separate decisions of the judges.
