UFC Betting at Parimatch – Fight Night Odds, PPV Events & Live MMA Markets

In order to understand what is happening in the octagon, it is worth familiarising yourself with the basic UFC terminology:

• Striking vs Grappling. Usually, players practise either striking techniques or wrestling to a greater extent;
• Ground and Pound. This is a technique in which a fighter takes their opponent to the ground, holds them down, and strikes them from above;
• Submission Types. The most common are the Rear-Naked Choke, Armbar, and Triangle Choke;
• TKO vs KO Difference. In a KO, the player cannot continue the fight due to loss of consciousness, while in a TKO, they can continue, but the fight is stopped due to serious injury or when the fighter can no longer defend themselves;
• Split/Unanimous/Majority Decision. In a Unanimous Decision, all 3 judges award the victory to one player; in a Split Decision, 2 judges vote for one fighter and the third for the other; and in a Majority Decision, 2 judges vote for one fighter and the third for a draw.

Familiarising yourself with the above information is an important step in deepening your understanding of the UFC.

Basically, fighters adhere to one of four fighting styles. Check them all out below:

• Striker. These fighters use striking techniques to end the fight with a knockout;
• Wrestler. These fighters try to take the fight to the ground, where they score points by dominating and controlling their opponent;
• BJJ Specialist. These fighters specialise in joint locks and chokeholds;
• Well-Rounded Fighter. These are hybrid fighters who use both striking techniques and wrestling with finishing submission moves.

Knowledge of all these fighting styles will help the player analyse matchups.

Currently, our website allows you to place bets on almost all PPV events. The UFC Fight Night series is also available. Individual title fights are also available for betting. International events such as UFC Abu Dhabi, UFC London, and UFC Brazil are also available to players.

The UFC usually organises around 4-5 tournaments per month. These include one PPV tournament and a 3-4 Fight Night series. Betting on these events opens 4-8 weeks before the event starts. Additional Parimatch UFC betting markets appear 7-10 days before the start of the event. Check out the schedule of upcoming fights below:

These are all the upcoming fights that will take place in the near future.

Here are the main types of bets available on the Parimatch website:

• Fight Winner. The player bets on the fighter who is expected to win the fight;
• Method of Victory – A bet on how the player will win: KO/TKO, Submission or Decision;
• Total Rounds Over/Under – The player predicts whether there will be more or fewer rounds than the number specified on the website;
• Round Betting – The user places a bet on the round in which the fight will end;
• Fight to Go Distance – The player bets on whether the fight will go to a decision.

The UFC discipline on the Parimatch website also provides for specific rounds:

• Fighter to Win in Round X. The player bets that the fight will end in a specific round;
• Fight of the Night. The user bets on whether this fight will be declared Fight of the Night;
• Will there be a Knockdown. The customer places a bet that there will be at least 1 knockdown in the fight.

These types of outcomes will help to diversify the player’s bets.

If the customer wishes, we offer the opportunity to place accumulator bets on Parimatch UFC matches. Main card parlays are popular among our customers. In addition, accumulator bets on the Method of Victory are also available. In the ‘Top Parlays’ tab, you will find ready-made accumulator bets with increased final odds.

Bets can be placed directly during the fight, and if desired, the player can even engage in round-by-round betting. It is also possible to bet on the Method of Victory outcome live. In addition, we recommend paying attention to the Total Rounds outcome. After reviewing the player’s statistics, it is often possible to place successful bets on them. Players can also place bets on the Next Round Winner outcome.

Please note that with UFC Parimatch betting, the odds change after each round. In addition, keep in mind that momentum shifts can occur after knockouts. Also, pay attention to player fatigue and injuries during the fight. If you try hard, you can notice breathing problems and deterioration in defence. You should also understand that timely corner advice can greatly influence the outcome of the fight, as one fighter will change their strategy, while the other may not be prepared for this.

A knockout can happen in any round in just a couple of seconds. You will have very little time to place bets between rounds, as the fighters only have a 1-minute break. Round-by-round betting requires quick reactions and constant monitoring of the situation.

We currently charge a margin of 3.7%–3.8% on UFC events. Other bookmakers charge a margin of 5.5%–8%. In MMA, there is almost always a favourite and an underdog, so the odds will be low for one player and high for the other. Players can bet on the favourites with accumulator bets to accumulate high overall odds.

Early odds are published 4-8 weeks before the start of the event. These are the most profitable. Fight week odds are more adjusted and are usually 0.1-0.3 lower than the initial ones. Also, pay attention to whether the fighters have any injuries. Don’t chase the opinion of the public; rely on your own decisions.

Value Parimatch UFC bets can be made on underrated grapplers when they face average strikers. Also, keep in mind that if a fighter is returning after a long break, they may be underrated. Always compare the styles that fighters use in the octagon: wrestlers are strong against strikers, and pressure fighters can break the timing of those who try to counterattack. The last area for value bets is fights between newcomers from developing MMA regions. Such players are often underestimated by the market.

Among the popular approaches to betting, the following are the most effective:

• Favourite in a mismatch. Betting on the favourite in an uneven matchup. The downside is low odds;
• Live dog strategy. The player bets on the underdog if they win the first round. Because they were not the favourite, the odds will still be high;
• Grappler over striker. Usually, grapplers are stronger than strikers because they take the fight to the ground;
• Method of victory value. Study the methods by which top players end matches and place bets on the Method of Victory outcome;
• Round Betting. Some players wait until their opponent gets tired, then join the fight, which is something a bettor can take advantage of;
• Parlays of favourites. You can get high odds by placing an accumulator bet with 4+ outcomes on the betting slip.

These approaches only work if the player has conducted a thorough analysis of the match and knows in which confrontations to use them.

When betting on UFC at Parimatch, there are some matches that are best avoided. Here are some red flags that indicate increased risks in a given event:

• Fighter coming off a long layoff. The player has not played for a long time, which means there are no guarantees or statistics to base your bet on;
• Multiple weight-cut issues. Weight cutting leads to severe exhaustion of the body, which reduces endurance, speed and reaction time;
• Ageing Fighters. The body wears out faster in MMA due to constant stress, and older players are an extra risk that the player takes on;
• Short-notice replacements. The player has not had time to complete a full training course, which means they will not be fighting at peak physical condition;
• Fighting in the opponent’s home country/region. The player needs to adapt after flying and adjust their sleep, which can lead to a deterioration in all of the fighter’s performance indicators in a particular fight.

All of the above aspects are additional risks that the player takes when betting on such matches. We advise avoiding them.

We have prepared some tips on Parimatch UFC betting for those who want to bet wisely. Check them out below:

• Watch the fighter’s tape (previous fights). Always watch recordings of a fighter’s previous fights to understand their strengths and weaknesses;
• Check the weigh-in condition. If the fighter has lost weight rapidly, they will not be at their peak when they enter the octagon;
• Follow MMA news for camp issues. Always keep track of information about injuries, coach changes and other important events in the fighter’s life;
• Understand stylistic matchups. Some fighting styles are stronger than others in certain fights. For example, an average grappler is stronger than an average striker;
• Bet small on high-risk underdogs. Sometimes it is worth placing a small bet on the underdog if they have an advantage over their opponent due to their fighting style.

Look forward to the most lucrative promotions ahead of major UFC events. Here are the events for which we plan to release new bonuses:

The app offers the full range of UFC events, just like the website. In addition, the odds during live betting are updated quickly, making it convenient to place round-by-round bets. The app also allows you to quickly create parlays, and H2H statistics open up space for player form analysis.

The app adds convenience, as you can place a bet while watching PPV at home. In addition, it works stably without lags or freezes, even on older smartphones. The convenience of touch betting allows you to quickly use the Cash Out function if something goes wrong between rounds.

Try not to get carried away by your emotions and avoid the following:

• Betting on your favourite team from another sport without any knowledge of UFC. Betting without analysis and statistics is most often doomed to failure;
• Ignoring grappling skill. The average grappler wins more often than the average striker;
• Assuming the striker always wins. Players should remember that if a grappler takes the fight to the ground, the striker’s chances are significantly reduced;
• Betting on hype. Never be swayed by the opinion of the majority and place bets based on your own judgement;
• Large parlays. Don’t make overly long accumulator bets;
• Ignoring weight class context. Always consider the weight class in which the fight takes place;
• Betting on ageing legends. Even if a player has never lost before, that doesn’t mean you can skip analysing the match.

Follow the tips above to avoid rookie mistakes.

Here are some tips we can give to novice bettors:

• Watch fights before betting. Watch players’ past fights to learn their style;
• Start with the main events. More information and statistics are publicly available for major events;
• Small stakes while learning. While the player is learning, it is not worth making large bets; at this stage, the main thing is to gain experience;
• Focus on one division at first. At the beginning of your journey, it is better to bet on only one division, and later expand your horizons;
• Follow MMA news daily. Study the news to learn about player injuries;
• Use multiple sources for fighter info. Study different sources to get more information for analysis.

Refrain from betting based on emotions, and before placing each bet, make sure your judgments are correct.
