How to Choose a UFC Fighter to Bet on
With the help of this guide, you can discover how to bet on your favorite UFC fighters in 2022 and beyond.
The UFC has grown year after year since it exploded in popularity over a decade ago. Now, whenever there’s a UFC event, it usually does big PPV numbers. Just look at UFC 275 that recently took place – it did over 400,000 pay-per-views, making it the best-selling UFC event of the year so far!
Of course, the main reason people watch UFC fights is the action. However, there’s also another reason why UFC fights have become so popular: betting.
UFC betting has a large following in the US, Europe, and Asia. Wherever you reside, here’s how to choose a UFC fighter to bet on. Fingers crossed, they’ll win!
1. Choose a UFC Betting Site or App
Before anything else, you need to choose a UFC betting site or app. Without one, you won’t be able to bet on the UFC fighter you want.
UFC betting sites are among the most popular options with fans. This is because they’re easy to access and don’t require any downloads.
After choosing your preferred site (which shouldn’t take long), you’ll then need to make an account. During this process, the site will ask you to select your preferred deposit method, which for most people is either credit or debit card.
2. Wait for the Next UFC Event
Each year, there’s a large variety of UFC events, from ‘Fight Nights’ to the classic ‘numbered’ UFC PPVs. Typically, they’ll be at least one event per month. Sometimes, there can be multiple events in a single month.
In any case, before one of these events, you’ll need to find a way to watch it. You can do this by either purchasing a PPV subscription or streaming the action online.
3. Select Your Fighter
On each event’s card, there will be lots of different fighters for you to choose from. In 2022, this will typically include fighters like Ciryl Gane, Charles Oliveira, and Kamaru Usman.
Whichever fighter captures your attention, make sure to go with them!
4. Choose Your Betting Type
In the UFC, there are three main types of bets to choose from:
- Moneyline
- Round bet
- Method of victory
‘Moneyline’ betting is a case of betting which fighter you think will win the fight – simple.
‘Round’ betting is a little different. It’s when you select a specific round and the fighter you think will win that round (e.g., Conor McGregor will win the second round).
Lastly, ‘method of victory’ betting is when you go with the way you think the fight will be won. In UFC fights, you can win by knockout, technical knockout, submission, decision, and even disqualification!
Conclusion
Make sure to use the advice mentioned above the next time you watch a UFC PPV event. If you do so, you’ll be able to make bets more easily with peace of mind.
Have fun, and always gamble responsibly!
