UFC betting is very popular at sportsbooks with fights on the board every month. There are a number of divisions in MMA and that means a lot of fights to choose from when you bet on UFC.
Here is a look at the best fighters and how they are ranked in UFC betting by division. UFC betting is probably the most popular on the heavyweights where Brock Lesnar is the UFC Champion. He is out of action for a while though so the top ranked heavyweight that is healthy is Fedor Emelianenko. He is not even in the UFC though but that could change at any moment. Cain Velasquez is the other top ranked heavyweight and he could easily be holding the title in the near future in UFC betting.
The rest of the division is up for grabs with fighters like Shane Carwin, Junior Dos Santos, Frank Mir and Gabriel Gonzaga getting a look from those that bet on UFC. This is a very competitive division. In fact, it is the most competitive of all the divisions in the MMA.The light heavyweight division is led by Lyoto Machida who is the UFC betting champ. Also getting attention in that division by those that bet on UFC are Quinton Jackson, Rashad Evans, Dan Henderson and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
The middleweight division in UFC betting is dominated by Anderson Silva. There is not much behind him in terms of contenders. Dan Henderson probably leads the list and that means it is a pretty weak list of contenders in UFC betting. The same thing can be said of the welterweight division where Georges St. Pierre is the current UFC champion. He is always a big UFC betting favorite and that is likely to continue. Josh Koscheck is exciting and could at least make things interesting against St. Pierre. There is not much in this division to challenge St. Pierre though in UFC betting.
The lightweight division in UFC betting is headlined by BJ Penn. He has a bit of competition in the division from fighters like Tyson Griffin, Diego Sanchez and Kenny Florian. Penn is still the dominant fighter though and a popular one for those that bet on UFC.
You don’t see many featherweight bouts in UFC betting. MMA does rank the fighters though with the WEC Champion Jose Also leading the way at the top of the list.
