Overwhelmed by all the “rules” of MMA betting?
❌ Don’t bet on women’s MMA.
❌ Avoid heavyweight favorites.
❌ Always bet the underdog.
Sound familiar? These “rules” only create confusion and lead to poor decisions. Let’s simplify.
If you want to handicap a fight effectively, you only need to focus on 3 key areas:
1️⃣ Stylistics: Analyze fighting styles and matchups.
✅ Who controls the range?
✅ Who dictates the pace?
✅ Who can exploit their opponent’s weaknesses?
2️⃣ Statistics: The numbers matter (but they’re not everything).
📊 Strike accuracy
📊 Takedown defense
📊 Submission success rates
Stats reveal patterns, but they must be combined with stylistics and intangibles for the full picture.
3️⃣ Intangibles: The human element.
💡 Mental state
💡 Recent injuries
💡 Motivation
Example: A fighter coming off a long injury layoff might not be at 100%. Ignore these factors, and you’re betting blind.
Why this works:
Every fight falls into these three categories:
👊 Stylistics: Who has the advantage in range, pace, or style?
📈 Statistics: What do the numbers say about their past performance?
🤔 Intangibles: Are there external factors impacting performance?
By answering these questions, you gain clarity and confidence in your picks.
Takeaway: Simplify your approach to MMA betting. Forget the noise, focus on the fundamentals, and start thinking like a pro.
