Definition of Fight Outcome

What does the term "fight outcome" mean in the world of sports betting? What is the definition of the term "fight outcome"?

When it comes to betting on mixed martial arts, "fight outcome" refers to when you bet on who will win the fight and HOW they will win the fight.

For instance - let's say that Conor McGregor is fighting against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

There are typically five different lines that you can bet on with the "fight outcome" line:

Conor McGregor by KO, TKO, DQ or Submission
Khabib Nurmagomedov by KO, TKO, DQ or Submission
Conor McGregor by Decision or Technical Decision
Khabib Nurmagomedov by Decision or Technical Decision
Draw

In this fight, Khabib was the favourite to win, so his odds to win by KO, TKO, DQ or Submission were much lower than McGregor's, as the sports books thought that it was likely that Khabib would smash Conor on the ground and either knock him out or submit him.

The odds of McGregor winning by a decision were extremely low, as it would have meant that he would have not only survived the five-round Khabib onslaught, but that he also would have won the fight. They would have meant that Conor would have successfully kept the fight standing, which was unlikely.

The odds of a draw were the longest, as draws are extremely rare in mixed martial arts.
