Mixed Martial Arts used to be relatively unknown to mainstream audiences back in the early nineties and eighties, but the success of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) enabled this thrilling battle sport to gain a widespread following within the past couple of decades. This, of course, spawned a lot of MMA betting chances.
Most high profile online sports gambling sites began offering Mixed Martial Arts betting opportunities in the late noughties and have since then expanded their event coverage by adding different federations as well as some regional events. These days, betting on Mixed Martial Arts is as straightforward as gambling on basketball or some other popular subject.
However, much like in the example of boxing, Mixed Martial Arts fans that bet online do not have that various types of wagers to pick from — in fact, the markets accessible with most sportsbooks are limited to betting on the results of specific bouts.
