One key market to understand is the "Victory Method" wager. If a fight involving a "Victory Method" market finishes in a draw, the wager will be settled as a loss for the bettor, the "No" side is deemed the winner. These markets can offer higher payouts, but they come with increased risk.

When a handicap counts as won

Another common MMA betting option is the "Handicap" market. All "Handicap" wagers on a fighter who wins via KO, TKO, Submission, or Disqualification will be settled as a win, even if the handicap was not covered.

Total rounds and the 2:30 mark

Another popular market in MMA betting is the total rounds. Two of the most common totals in UFC betting are 1.5 and 2.5. However, unlike other sports, these "totals" in MMA refer to the halfway point of a round. If the fight crosses the 2:30 mark of the third round, the "over" wins. If it ends in the first two rounds or before that halfway point in the third, the "under" is victorious.
