Over/Under bets
In MMA, over/under bets work similarly to boxing betting odds. The over/under bet is placed on whether the total number of points scored will be higher or lower than the set amount. This bet is commonly available at sportsbooks, but can also be placed in-game during the fight through live betting.
Over/under bets in MMA are often more lucrative than their counterparts in football and baseball because fighters tend to be more aggressive than their opponents. However, it is important to stay informed about the health of a fighter before placing a wager. Fighters may be injured in training camp or even during the fight itself and this can drastically alter their performance.
