UFC betting is exciting for many gamblers around the world. As you get involved in UFC betting you will notice that fighters use different techniques in their bouts. Let’s take a look at the main techniques you should be aware of when you examine the UFC betting line. UFC fighting styles have three basic categories. They are striking, grappling, and ground fighting.

These are part of mixed martial arts styles that you notice when watching UFC bouts. A striker that you notice in UFC betting will be a fighter that uses punches, kicks, knees and elbows. Boxing is the main form of striking but there are other forms of boxing that you will see from strikers in UFC betting. The gloves worn by fighters are very small and thin. As part of striking you will also see the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu style that has been around for a long while. You will also notice judo and other styles like Tae Kwon Do.

Another type of UFC fighting style is grappling. This is a wrestling type of style that involves a fighter taking his opponent down. You will notice freestyle wresting, Greco-Roman and combinations of the two. Grappling can also include submissions like a choke hold, etc.

The other style you will notice in UFC is ground fighting. This is where fighters continue battling while on the ground. You will see punches, submission holds, etc. in ground fighting and they are important to understand when looking at the UFC line.

It is important as you look at the UFC betting line to understand the various fighting styles. Some styles work better against another and it is important to know what style each fighter uses as you examine the UFC line. There might be times when a favored fighter in UFC is facing a fighter that has a style that could give him trouble. This is when the UFC underdog might be worth a wager and why you might not want to be the favored fighter. That is why understanding and recognizing fighting styles is important in UFC.
