Here are the most common ways to bet on mixed martial arts:

Straight up Winner - this is straightforward. Who do you think will win the fight?

Method of Finish - who will win and how will they finish the fight?

Over/Under Rounds - will the fight last less than the line that has been set by the sportsbook, or longer?

Fighter/Round of Finish - who will win and in what round will they win the fight in, or will it go the distance?

Many people like to bet parlays when it comes to mixed martial arts betting.

For instance, let's say that you believe that both Conor McGregor and Dan Hooker will win their respective fights.

With a parlay, you can increase your potential payout, as the odds for the two fights will be multiplied together, along with your bet.

So, if you are able to get both of the fight picks correct, you will be looking at a nice payout.
