The great thing about UFC is the rounds system. With so many sports I can find myself getting distracted while watching a game because it just never ends. With a good UFC fight, I know I can look at my phone and do whatever else I need to, but when that bell rings and the round begins: I’m locked in. That round is all that matters.
The reason is I never know when it is going to end. Fights can end at any time so you don’t want to miss a minute. One good way to up the stake of watching is with a little bit of UFC Round Betting. You can get much better odds when betting UFC rounds as opposed to betting outright results. It can also be a lot of fun and take that five minute period and really up the excitement.
This article is going to tell you a little bit more about UFC Rounds Betting. Where to do it, how to do it, and more.
Where To Bet UFC Rounds:
America: One of the best places online for betting UFC is Bovada. That includes UFC Round Betting and many other fight props.

What is UFC Round Betting?
There are many different ways to bet on a UFC fight. These are a few of the most popular betting options:
Exact round: A bet on which round the fight will end.
Exact round + method of victory: A bet on which round the fight will end as well as how it will end. You can only win the bet if both things happen.
Fight goes the distance: This is a bet on the length of the fight. You are betting whether or not it goes to the judge’s decision. The fight being “within the distance” means it finishes before the time limit expires.
Total number of rounds (over/under): This is a classic over under where you bet if you think the fight will go longer or shorter than the total set. For a three round fight, it is typically set at 1.5 and 2.5.
The last one is most popular with different moneyline odds set on the over and under.
If a bout is expected to go short, it might look something like this:
Over 1.5 (-200)
Under 1.5 (+275)
The odds here pay much better for a longer fight as conventional wisdom sees it going short.
Common UFC Round Betting Questions:
How long is the average UFC bout?
The average fight typically lasts around nine minutes. This is right about late in the second round. This is why with many bets you will see higher odds on the under bet.

UFC Round Betting Strategy:
One thing that you can look at with UFC fighters is their statistics. You can look at who has an average short fight, who last longer, who gets a lot of knockouts and everything else.
The area that I look for potential values is when you have one fighter known for going short against another fighter who is known for going long. Who is going to win that stylistic battle? Figure that out and you can potentially make some good money.
