UFC fight night card and latest betting odds

Main event: Nurmagomedov vs. Song

The latest Nurmagomedov vs Song betting odds show Nurmagomedov as a considerable favourite. He has a career record of 20-1, including nine victories by either knockout or submission. In his last fight in January of this year, Nurmagomedov took down Deiveson Figueiredo by unanimous decision. That win extended his back-to-back wins since his only MMA loss to Merab Dvalishvili in January 2025.

Song, meanwhile, is 23-9 in his MMA career. Ironically, his last fight was also a victory over Figueiredo. But he’s also lost three of his last seven fights, including one by TKO. One edge that Song could have as the clear underdog is the fight taking place in his home country. He’s won his last five fights that took place in China, including his win over Figueiredo in May.

Other fight card events

Other than Nurmagomedov vs Song, the fight of the night is expected to be Su Mudaerji vs Alex Perez. Both strive to one day unseat Joshua Van as the UFC Flyweight champion. Their first rematch in May ended in a no contest after Perez suffered an accidental kick to the groin.

UFC bet types explained: moneyline, method of victory, and round betting

For any given UFC fight, there are multiple betting odds available. The most basic are moneyline odds, which means you’ll be betting on the winner of the fight. Keep in mind that the payout for betting on the favourite in the fight will be less than if you bet on an underdog who wins their fight.

Another common type of UFC betting is the method of victory. This requires betting on which fighter will win and how they will win. The options include a knockout, technical knockout, submission, disqualification, and a judges' decision.

It’s also common to bet on the number of rounds in a fight. This is typically an over/under bet, such as over/under 2.5 rounds. In this example, you would bet the under if you think the fight will end in two rounds or less and bet the over if you think the fight will last three rounds or more.
