UFC Live Scores

Our Scores tab is your home for fixtures, live results and scheduling information for every UFC event past and present. Every fight scheduled is included and at a click you can see each fighter’s history. This allows you to get to grips with little-known competitors in an instant, giving you a leg up on bettors looking for great UFC betting lines.

You can also use the calendar feature to browse past UFC matchups. Say you want to check the UFC betting lines for a previous event, just select the date of the event and it’s all there. That way you can compare past UFC odds to current ones to draw conclusions about current matchups and their UFC betting lines.

The scheduling of UFC events can often be unpredictable, a common occurrence in the realm of combat sports. Fighter injuries or the need for recovery post-matches, as well as champion considerations regarding the prize money, can lead to a fluctuating schedule. Despite the challenges posed by these intricacies, the UFC, in its role as the promoter, strives to organize thrilling fight cards for each upcoming event.

Typically they will hold an event each week, with fights usually happening on Sunday night. As is tradition in combat-sports the card is organized with the lesser-known and lower-ranked fighters competing earlier and building to a main event. This is often a championship round with a title belt on the line. The UFC title odds can often be the most exciting, especially if there’s a great story between the fighters.

With 8 men’s weight classes and 4 women’s weight classes there’s a total of 12 championship belts, and any one could be on the line in a given event.

UFC Stats, Standings & Top Fighters

Here on our Stats tab you can find all the information you need to build your best bet. You can find everything you might want to know concerning the UFC, like fighter rankings, title holders, head to head matchups and more.

Our stats are kept up to date as fights are completed. That means you’ll be able to check them safely in the knowledge that you have the latest numbers to allow you to be smarter in choosing the UFC betting lines you like.

Individual fighter stats can help give you an idea of what kind of competitor they are. A fighter who regularly wins by submission for instance is probably a grappler who feels more comfortable wrestling rather than striking. That can tell you a lot when assessing a matchup with another fighter. Especially if the fighters aren’t well-known yet. 

Fighter rankings can also be useful in different ways. They help give you a general overview of each weight division. Showing who is the current champion, who is an up-and-comer and who is in the running for a chance at the belt.  

Another way to gauge fighters is by looking at win and loss streaks. These can help give you an idea of what kind of form a fighter is in, and in turn inform which UFC betting lines you choose to go for. Undefeated fighters can often seem like a safe bet, especially going up against a fresh-faced contender. But you might just as well want to put your money on an old pro who has had a bad couple of nights in the ring. If you’ve seen his history and you’re confident he still has it, the UFC betting lines might look pretty enticing. So it’s always good to check the stats when picking UFC betting odds.

UFC News 

Welcome to our UFC News tab, where you can stay up to date on the comings and goings of the world’s premiere MMA promoter, the UFC. We aggregate the news and headlines from trusted outlets and media sources in order to provide you with the best quality of information without having to do all the legwork. 

There’s really nothing worse than placing a bet thinking you got great odds, only to realize that you missed a crucial development. All of a sudden your great bet might be feeling a little shaky, and you’re left wishing you checked before picking your UFC betting odds.

That’s why it’s always a good idea to know what’s going on in any sports league if you are planning on making a bet, and UFC is no different. After all, fresh headlines can cause UFC betting lines to shift dramatically. In combat-sports where fighters are alone in the ring any detail about their preparation or setbacks they could face becomes important to know. If a contender is having difficulty with his weight cut and it’s hurting his preparation for the fight then the UFC betting lines available might shift. Or what if an opponent took a bad lick in a sparring session and the news gets out? Your guy’s UFC odds might see a rise. 

This feature goes beyond just traditional reporting though. The modern media ecosystem is much more varied than it once was. These days to get the full picture you need to pay attention to fighters’ posts on Instagram, tweets from league figures, and industry related podcasts. We do our best to round up all the best bits and showcase them here alongside our more conventional news sources. That way you can place bets on UFC odds knowing that you’re in the loop.

There are multiple great options to use. However if you’re looking for pointers on some of the best sportsbooks, there are a few we can recommend.

DraftKings and their fierce competitors, FanDuel, were among the first to take online sports betting to the next level. Both operators have fantastic online platforms and well-crafted mobile apps to take your game on the go. That can be especially important with PPV UFC events. Say you’re at a friend’s house for a watch party, you don’t exactly want to have to ask to use their family desktop to login and place a bet. 

What’s more, DraftKings has been announced as the official sportsbook partner of the UFC. Its hope is to innovate with real-time data gathering to build new ways to bet on UFC bouts. 

Some sportsbooks can also have great sportsbook promos and perks. Caesars is a great example, customers can earn rewards points by betting that can be redeemed in Caesars venues. That includes their bars, hotels and restaurants, and could be a perfect way to enhance a trip to Vegas to watch a fight.

Just remember, there’s more to an operator than just what UFC betting lines they offer.
