New bettors are always confused on how the lines break down for UFC fights (and fighting, in general) if they have never bet previously. Below will give you an idea of how you could bet (if using one of our picks) for the The Ultimate Fighter Season 11 Finale.

If you were to pick Matt Hamill over Keith Jardine and the current lines are what you bet on:

How to bet on a UFC Fight

Betting on UFC fights is much easier than the ‘moneylines’ first show. Let’s start by a quick rundown of terms:

MoneyLine, Betting Odds, Betting Lines – The moneyline is the odds on that particular fight and serves to ‘even out’ the payouts the casino makes for any given fight.

Example: In a recent UFC event, UFC 78 Validation, Here was the moneyline on one of the most exciting fights of the night – Houston Alexander vs. Thiago Silva:

Moneylines, Betting Odds, Betting Lines change frequently as more betters place bets on the UFC fight. Moneylines are always being adjusted and it is solely based upon the amount of bets coming in for each fighter. When you place your bet – the odds at that time are the odds you will receive, so bet wisely!

Fight Analysis: This is another one of those fights where it could stay standing (and one fighter would win), but if it goes to the ground it would be a drastically different outcome. Jardine is looking to stop his 3 losses in devastating fashion, but will he be able to stop Matt Hamill from taking him down? My bet is that this fight will be on the ground quite a bit and, as a result, Hamill will take a decision victory.

Prediction: Matt Hamill by Decision.

Fight Analysis: These 2 are very hungry to be in the UFC. They both love to trade punches with McCray leaning a bit more towards takedowns when the fight becomes too intense. Look for this to be a similar rematch where McGee and McCray both come out strong in standup. McCray will get rocked a couple times in this match, IMO, and will lean even more towards takedowns. This fight will go to the end, but McGee will take the last 2 rounds and pull out the decision-victory.

Prediction: McGee by Decision.

Fight Analysis: Leben edges this one out by a large margin with a ton of experience and a ton of heart. Leben has a solid chin and a crazy, fearless approach to standup. Simpson has not yet fought anyone like Leben, who refuses to be knocked out. Look for this fight to be a crazy battle in the 1st round. As the fight progresses, Simpson will get tired and, if he stays standing (which I believe he will), he will lose.

Prediction: Chris Leben by TKO

Fight Analysis: If this fight stays standing, it will be an easy victory for Spencer Fisher.  His standup game is much more crisp than Siver’s and he has fought a ton of highly skilled fighters.  He is, technically, the better stand up fighter.  The ground game is Siver’s only chance in victory (IMO), but Spencer has a very effective ground defense and good submissions.

Prediction: Spencer Fisher by Decision.
