How Odds Work

Unlike a spread on an NFL game where one team is ahead by a certain number of points (ex. Saints +7), in MMA fights, the line on the game is called a moneyline. These are the +/- used on UFC broadcasts. The figure is how much money you have to bet in order to win $100 (-), and how much a $100 bet will earn (+). They are perhaps best explained via example:

FRANKIE EDGAR +300
CORY SANDHAGEN -365

In this fight, Sandhagen is the -365 favorite, meaning if you bet $365 on him and he wins, you would profit $100. If he were to lose though, you would lose the full $365.

If you were to bet on Frankie at +300, if you bet $100 on him and he wins the fight, you will profit $300. If he were to lose the fight, you would lose your original $100 bet.

Depending on how people are betting on the fights, the odds can shift from the moment they open, right up until the night of the fights.

Some say never bet until the weigh-ins, which streamed live on The UG at Noon ET on Friday.

The sport is built on moments that make you involuntary think “HOLY F***ING S***!!!” Those can come at any time, on any portion of the card, from any fighter. Thus, some bettors look to the underdogs, sometimes big ones, as the best bets. UG, you see any ‘dogs’ you like?

Magomed Ankaleav comes in as the heavy favorite after winning five straight fights. The big underdog is Nikita “The Miner” Krylov, whose last fight was a win by decision in March of 2020.

Krylov will look to land strong punches on his feet and finish his opponent early, with only two of his 34 pro fights going the full length.

However, he is going up against a submission specialist in Ankaleav that is 14-1 in his career, with the one loss being at the very final bell.
