Alright, let’s dive into the octagon of new sportsbooks that are stepping up for fight night betting. I’ve been poking around some of the latest platforms to see which ones are worth your time if you’re looking to put some money down on those high-energy MMA bouts. Here’s my take on a few that caught my eye for their fight night offerings.
First up, Fanatics Sportsbook is making waves. It’s got a clean app that’s easy to navigate, and they’re quick to post odds for upcoming fights, which is clutch if you like to plan ahead. Their pre-fight betting options are solid, with moneyline, round props, and even some parlay boosts that can juice up your payout. I liked how they flag markets with early cash-out options—handy if the fight starts going sideways. They’re also running a promo right now where a $30 bet gets you $300 in bonus bets in some states, which is a nice bankroll boost for new users. Only downside? Their prop markets could be deeper, especially for mid-card fights.
Next, I checked out BetOnline, and this one’s a heavy hitter for fight fans. They’ve got a ton of markets, from method of victory to strike totals, and they cover not just the main events but prelims and even smaller promotions like PFL. Their live betting is smooth, with odds updating fast enough to keep up with the chaos of a scrap. They’re also crypto-friendly, so if you’re into Bitcoin or USDT, withdrawals are lightning-quick, sometimes in hours. The welcome bonus is a 100% match up to $1,000, but you’ve got to watch the rollover requirements—they’re a bit steep. Still, if you want variety, this one’s tough to beat.
Then there’s Stake, which is partnered with the UFC, so you know they’re all in on fight nights. What stands out is their live streaming—you can watch the fights right on the platform, which is perfect for in-play betting. Their markets are decent, covering moneylines, over/unders, and some fun parlays, but they lean hard into crypto deposits, which might be a hassle if you’re not set up for it. They’ve got a $750 welcome bonus, and their “Split Decision Insurance” promo refunds your bet if a fight goes to a decision you didn’t call. It’s a cool touch, but the odds aren’t always the sharpest compared to others.
Lastly, ESPN BET is newer but has some perks thanks to its UFC broadcast connection. You get access to fight analysis and stats right in the app, which is great for making informed picks. Their odds are competitive, especially for main events, and they’ve got parlay lounges with pre-built options that make betting quick. The welcome offer is a $150 bonus bet if your first $1 bet wins, which is low-risk but not as juicy as others. The app’s a bit clunky at times, though, so it’s not perfect.
Overall, Fanatics is great for beginners with its ease of use, BetOnline’s the go-to for deep markets, Stake’s awesome for streaming, and ESPN BET’s got that insider edge. Check these out and see which fits your style for the next fight night. Anyone else tried these yet? What’s been working for you?
