The Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2025/26

This year marked the 33rd anniversary of the UFC. UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Ribas 2 was the first event of the year, held in January at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Beginning in 2026, the UFC's seven-year deal with Paramount+ will see 30 fight nights and 13 marquee numbered events airing exclusively on Paramount in the US. Also, Conor McGregor's 18-month ineligibility period concludes March, in time for the UFC White House Event in June, although the fight card has not yet been released.

Some major title fights to look forward to are:

Bantamweight: UFC 323: Dvalishvili vs. Yan 2 on 6 December 2025.
UFC White House: Mixed Martial Arts 24 June 2026

Mixed Martial Arts Betting Tips

If you want to be successful when betting on the UFC, here’s a couple of tips:

Don't get fixated on fighters with unbeaten records all the time. It's best to judge each match separately by assessing the opponent.
Never ignore prop markets like “Method of Victory”, as they can be profitable when predicted correctly.

Top UFC Fighters

The UFC has branched out to countries like England, Brazil, Australia, and Singapore, broadening the scope of its appeal. The leading fighters from the UFC, past and present, have become household names, such as Connor McGregor, Amanda Nunes, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Rhonda Rousey.

Among the current biggest fighters on the circuit is Jon 'Bones' Jones, regarded as one of the greatest fighters ever. Plus, Israel Adesanya, Nate Diaz, Stipe Miocic, Dustin Poirier, and Islam Makhachev, whom Nurmagomedov trains.

There is also a younger crop of future stars on the rise, like Alexander Volkanovski, Sean O'Malley, Khamzat Chimaev, and Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett.

Among the current best pound-for-pound UFC female fighters, a powerful crop of stars includes Zhang Weili, Alexa Grasso, Valentina Shevchenko, Carla Esparza, and Erin Blanchfield.

Live Odds UFC

There are live UFC odds available at Betsmith as well. These dynamic live markets get you right into the heart of the latest fight action from the UFC. While the major live markets like 'Fight Winner' and 'Method of Victory' are active throughout a fight, you can dip into some great alternatives.

During a UFC contest, you can select when the fight will be settled, like 02:00–02:59 of Round 2, meaning the bout must finish within that time frame.

Just as fighters' styles vary greatly, so do UFC bets—from forecasting the fighter to land the most significant strikes or backing one to nail the most knockdowns, track the latest live odds on our secure mobile app.
