The most popular form of MMA betting involves picking the winner of an individual fight, with this bet usually set by the sportsbook and paying out when your selection wins the fight. You may also consider how a particular fighter might win by reviewing his or her past performance history and looking at statistics such as strikes landed, struck absorbed, takedown defense etc. Additionally depending on their experience level and age difference these can all play into how a fight goes down.
MMA betting also features several unique prop bets tailored specifically to the sport, such as Method of Victory bets that enable bettors to predict how a fight will end: knockout, technical knockout, submission, decision or disqualification. Furthermore, bets on how many seconds a fighter will last during the opening minute of a bout may return significant returns if your prediction proves accurate.
