What Props Can You Bet on in UFC and This Fight?

Bettors can play a winning method wager among props on the bout. There are six options with this type of wager. Fighters can be backed to win by decision, by submission, or by KO, TKO, or DQ. For instance, Adesanya to win by decision is offering +140 odds.

A yes/no win by decision is another UFC 263 prop option. In this case, Vettori is +375 to win and -670 to lose by decision. A similar yes/no prop is available on fighters to win by finish – via submission, KO, TKO, or DQ.

Another option is to wager on the fight to go the distance. Yes is the -139 betting favorite in this prop for the Adesanya-Vettori bout.

What Do Moneyline Odds Mean?

The moneyline is based on a $100 wager and is a pretty easy concept to grasp when learning to read sports odds. A fighter with plus odds – in this case, Vettori – is the underdog. At +500, if a $100 wager was made on Vettori and he won the fight, the bettor would get the $100 stake back plus a $500 profit.

Wagering on favored Adesanya at -275 is based on how much a bettor would need to stake in order to earn a $100 profit. In this instance, that amount would be $275.

What Promos Would Be Useful For New Bettors?

Every online sportsbook offers some form of signup bonus. This could be a matching first deposit bonus, a risk-free first bet, or even a no-deposit bonus.

The risk-free first bet guarantees a player’s first wager. If it’s a loser, the amount of the stake – with a capped limit – is returned to the bettor’s account, usually in the form of free bet coupons.

 

FanDuel is offering a wild promotion for new players that will give them 30-1 odds on either Adesanya or Vettori in a straight moneyline wager.

Who Are Adesanya and Vettori?

Adesanya (20-1) is Nigerian-born and New Zealand-based. In 2019, he won the interim UFC world middleweight title, following up by beating champion Robert Whittaker to unify the belt.

 

Italy’s Vettori (17-4-1) has won his last five fights. His most recent defeat was that split-decision loss to Adesanya in their first meeting in 2018.

Why You Shouldn’t Bet Adesanya as a -275 Favorite or Higher?

Quite simply, because you’re giving odds to the bookmaker. In this case, to play a wager on Adesanya, you’ll be needing to risk $275 in order to realize a $100 profit.

Are There Better Ways to Bet on Adesanya?

Vettori has never been knocked out or submitted. All four of his losses were via decision.

The Adesanya by decision prop at +140 looks to be the best bet on this fight.
