Ultimate Fighting Championship Betting

The UFC has become increasingly popular in recent years after initially struggling to gain recognition in the world of sport. It is now a fully recognised part of sports betting and has become more and more popular with experienced punters and UFC lovers alike.

UFC combines the best of mixed martial arts, including karate, jiu-jitsu, boxing, wrestling, Muay Thai and many other styles. Competitors fight one-on-one in an 'octagon' and with that regard it can be compared to boxing as fighters compete at a variety of different weight levels - from bantamweight to heavyweight.

There are plenty of rules to ensure things don't get out of hand and the very best fighters are inducted into the UFC hall of fame, with the likes of Royce Gracie, Dan Severn and Matt Hughes amongst the very best in the history of the UFC.

In terms of betting, there is always plenty of interest from punters and many online bookmakers will provide odds for ante-post betting on tournaments, as well as live in-running betting for individual bouts.

There are events throughout the year to keep even the most committed punter interested, and with the events shown live on ESPN you can keep right up to date with the latest fight...
