MMA Odds Today at Prime Sportsbook: Get the Best MMA Betting Lines

Mixed martial arts (MMA) betting rivals boxing betting as one of the most popular forms of fight betting worldwide. In fact, MMA betting has been one of the fastest-growing sectors of the sports betting market.

Like in boxing, multiple weight divisions within MMA offer gamblers plenty of betting options and combatants.

More importantly, MMA betting has a better reputation in the gambling community than boxing. MMA fighting has better leadership and a logical flow to its championships.

Additionally, MMA fighters are becoming more well-known than boxers.

Understanding MMA Betting Odds

The most common way to play MMA odds begins with the moneyline. This is where gamblers place wagers on who will win a fight by laying odds on the favorite or taking odds on the underdog.

Another popular MMA bet is the method of victory. For example, gamblers can lay or take odds on wins by knockout or submission.

Round betting allows gamblers to bet over or under which round will end the fight. Live-round betting offers the chance to bet on the previously mentioned options during a fight.

MMA props betting includes such items as when the fight will end, time of finish, and much more.

MMA Betting Types at PrimeSportsbook.com

Moneyline Betting: A moneyline example would be Alex Pereira -485 to win $100 vs. Khalil Rountree Jr. +370 on a $100 bet. Gamblers must handicap the probability of the bet against the MMA price.

Method of Victory Betting: Fights can be won by decision, knockout, submission, and more. Thus, the bettor would select which method of victory will occur.

Round Betting: Options for Round Betting include the exact round method of victory, the total number of rounds, and whether a fight will go the distance. Gamblers often see hedge or parlay opportunities with this method.

Over/Under Rounds Betting: Betting on over/under rounds with the MMA betting lines is highly popular and easy. An example would be wagering whether a fight lasts more or less than 2.5 rounds.

Live Round Betting: Similar bet options with live round betting, offering gamblers a chance to get a feel for the fight before making a bet.

Fighter Prop Bets: Prop options include fight distance and time of finish. An example would be a wager on whether the fight will be won between 1:00 and 1:59.

Bet on Major MMA Organizations & Events

MMA has filled the void left by the poor management of the boxing industry. It is easier for fans to locate, bet on, and watch MMA fights. Thus, MMA has become a big business.

Ultimate Fighting Championship, Bellator MMA, Professional Fighters League, and ONE Championship are all credible organizations that gamblers can wager on.

UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship)

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is the equivalent of soccer’s Premier League as the sport's destination promotion company, led by President Dana White.

One of the first major professional organizations to aggressively promote gambling partnerships, UFC betting has become one of the biggest attractions for sportsbooks.

Bellator MMA

Founded in 2008, Bellator MMA quickly carved out a significant niche in the MMA betting world. Located in Hollywood, California, Bellator MMA has often served as a developmental organization for fighters who eventually graduate to the UFC.

Current heavyweight champion Ryan Bader has become the star of Bellator MMA with three successful title defenses.

PFL (Professional Fighters League)

Founded in 2017 by Donn Davis, the Professional Fighters League grew from the original World Series of Fighting.

It stands apart from other MMA organizations as being the first to hold a regular season, postseason, and final championship.

The PFL has six weight classes, and fights happen in a 10-sided cage known as the SmartCage. Previously, the PFL banned elbow strikes but finally allowed them in November 2024.

ONE Championship

Founded in 2011, with headquarters in Singapore, ONE Championship is a multinational combat sports promotion organization. Initially, ONE Championship focused on mixed martial arts but has since expanded to include muaythai, kickboxing, and submission grappling.

In 2024, Forbes listed ONE Championship at a $1.3 billion valuation. It continues to grow in popularity and betting activity.

Sharp Money vs Public Betting in MMA

Like in all other sports, MMA betting and its odds are based on public perception or lack thereof. MMA betting has similar betting traits to team sports, as brand names play a huge role.

As always, casual gamblers gravitate toward the favored combatants, especially more-expensive name brands. The casual sector is consistently afraid of underdogs in any sport, but sharp money thrives on quality underdogs, especially in championship bouts where the margin is closer than normal.

There is also plenty of good and bad recency bias, which affects odds. You'll also see the odds react to major wins or devastating losses.
