MMA / UFC Odds United States
For UFC and MMA markets sampled across US sportsbooks, DraftKings posts the top price on 54.0% of moneyline and prop selections — the widest best-price share in our data. FanDuel (36.1%) and Fanatics (41.8%) follow, while margin — the built-in book edge on a two-way fight market — runs from 4.25% (DraftKings) up to 6.35% (BetRivers). Since US betting is regulated state by state, the operators available to you depend on your state regulator. Below is where the sharpest MMA / UFC prices sit and why.
Best MMA / UFC odds today: best-price share and margin
Two numbers decide which sportsbook returns more on a fight bet: best-price share (how often a book leads the market on a given selection) and average margin (the overround baked into a market — lower is better for you).
From our MMA / UFC samples:
- DraftKings — 54.0% best-price share, 4.25% avg margin (1,068 selections sampled)
- Fanatics Sportsbook — 41.8% best-price share, 4.25% avg margin (466 sampled)
- Caesars Sportsbook — 36.2% best-price share, 5.27% avg margin (906 sampled)
- FanDuel — 36.1% best-price share, 4.46% avg margin (596 sampled)
- BetRivers — 28.3% best-price share, 6.35% avg margin (480 sampled)
- BetMGM — 19.9% best-price share, 5.21% avg margin (438 sampled)
DraftKings and Fanatics tie on the lowest sampled margin (4.25%), but DraftKings leads the market far more often, which is why it ranks first for MMA prices. Caesars posts a competitive best-price share (36.2%) on a large sample, but its 5.27% margin means the median non-leading price is wider. BetRivers has the highest sampled margin at 6.35%, so on the fights where it isn't top price, the gap costs more.
MMA / UFC odds comparison: how the operators rank
bet365 carries the highest overall odds rating in our data (8.8) and the strongest market coverage (9.6) and live capability (9.4) scores, though fight-market price metrics weren't in the sampled set. For pure MMA / UFC price efficiency, the sampled numbers put DraftKings first.
DraftKings (odds rating 7.9) and FanDuel (7.8) also lead on same game parlay and live-market depth for UFC cards. BetMGM (7.6), Caesars (7.5), Fanatics (7.4), BetRivers (7.4), ESPN BET (7.3) and Hard Rock Bet (7.3) cluster close behind — the practical takeaway is that no single book leads every fight, so line-shopping two or three of these covers most best-price situations.
ESPN BET and Hard Rock Bet weren't in the priced sample, so their MMA metrics aren't reflected in the best-price table above; their ratings reflect market coverage, app and features scoring only.

MMA / UFC markets and live betting
US UFC markets typically span fight-winner moneylines, method of victory (KO/TKO, submission, decision), round betting, over/under total rounds, and fight-goes-the-distance props. Same Game Parlay is offered by DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, BetRivers, ESPN BET, Fanatics and Hard Rock Bet — useful for combining a fighter and a method on a single card.
Live betting is available at every operator here, and in-fight lines move fastest between rounds. bet365, DraftKings, FanDuel and BetMGM add Live Streaming on eligible events. Cash Out is offered by bet365, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars and ESPN BET, letting you close a moneyline before the final horn.
Upcoming UFC cards in the schedule include Nasrat Haqparast vs Chris Padilla and Marquel Mederos vs Mason Jones on August 22, plus a full prelim slate. For fights days out, watch line movement — opening prices on lesser-known matchups like Alik Lorenz vs Mahamed Aly tend to shift as sharper money arrives.
Legal MMA / UFC betting by state
US sports betting is regulated state by state, not federally. An operator licensed by the New Jersey DGE is not automatically legal in New York, Pennsylvania or Michigan — availability, minimum age and market rules depend on your state regulator. The legal age is 21 in every regulated market listed here.
All nine operators covered hold state licences where they operate: bet365, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, BetRivers, ESPN BET, Fanatics and Hard Rock Bet. Live markets differ by state — check which books are active in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado, Ohio, Illinois, Arizona, Virginia or Massachusetts before comparing prices, since your available line-shopping pool depends on it.
Payments and withdrawal times
Every operator here lists a $10 minimum deposit and a 0–24h withdrawal window in our data. Payment coverage is broad: PayPal is supported at all nine books, Venmo at bet365, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN BET, Fanatics and Hard Rock Bet, and Play+ at DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars and BetRivers. Online Banking is universal across the list; Visa is listed at bet365 and FanDuel.
Withdrawal ratings edge highest at BetRivers (8.6), bet365 (8.9) and DraftKings (8.5). For MMA bettors placing fight-night bets and cashing out same day, the 0–24h window applies across the board — though actual timing depends on your chosen method and state processing.

Best-price share is how often a sportsbook offers the highest available price on a given MMA / UFC selection versus its competitors. A 54.0% share means that book led the market on just over half the sampled selections. Higher is better for bettors.
Which book has the lowest margin on UFC markets?
DraftKings and Fanatics Sportsbook tie for the lowest sampled average margin at 4.25%. BetRivers had the highest at 6.35%. Lower margin means less built-in book edge on a two-way fight market.

It depends on your state. US betting is regulated state by state, and a licence in one state does not authorize an operator elsewhere. Check your state regulator — the minimum age is 21 across regulated markets. All nine operators listed hold licences where they operate.
