MMA / UFC Betting Sites in the United States
For MMA and UFC betting in the US, bet365 leads our comparison with the strongest ratings for market coverage (9.6) and sports depth (9.5), followed by DraftKings and FanDuel. All nine sportsbooks on this page are licensed by state regulators, take a $10 minimum deposit and process withdrawals in 0–24 hours. The right pick depends on what you bet: method-of-victory and round props, live betting during fights, or a same game parlay stacking a favorite with a finish. Below we break down where each book fits, using only its published ratings, payments, features and app data.
Topping this list for market coverage (9.6) and sports depth (9.5), bet365 also carries the strongest odds rating at 8.8, plus live streaming and a bet-builder inside an app scoring 9.3. Withdrawals process within a 0–24h window, minimums start at $10, and PayPal, Venmo, online banking and Visa are all supported. Choose bet365 if you want the widest range of sports and in-play markets under NJ DGE oversight.
Leading the sampled price comparison, DraftKings landed best odds on 54% of markets across 1,077 selections, with an average margin of 4.3%. Its 9.2-rated app pairs same-game parlays, cash-out and fast payouts, while deposits start at $10 through PayPal, Venmo, online banking or Play+. Money clears in 0–24h. Go with DraftKings if consistently competitive pricing matters more to you than any other single factor here.
Matching bet365 for app quality at 9.3, FanDuel blends a polished mobile experience with live streaming, same-game parlays and cash-out. It took best price on 37% of 594 sampled markets at a 4.4% average margin, and withdrawals settle within 0–24h via PayPal, Venmo, Visa or online banking from a $10 minimum. Suited to bettors who prioritise a smooth, feature-rich app alongside fair pricing.
Punching above its 8.5 app score, Caesars Sportsbook returned best price on 36% of a large 890-market sample, though margins averaged 5.2%. Core tools cover live betting, same-game parlays and cash-out, with $10 deposits handled by PayPal, Venmo, online banking or Play+ and withdrawals inside 0–24h. Reasonable for those drawn to a recognised name who still want frequently competitive lines on mainstream events.
Notably competitive for a newer name, Fanatics Sportsbook took best price on 42% of 464 sampled markets at a low 4.2% average margin, backed by an 8.7 app score and fast-payout support. Live betting and same-game parlays feature, with $10 deposits via PayPal, Venmo or online banking and 0–24h withdrawals. Consider it if you want sharp pricing and a capable app from a rising operator.
Sitting mid-table with a 9.2 licence-safety mark and an 8.8-rated app, BetMGM offered best price on 19% of 422 sampled markets, its 5.2% average margin the trade-off. Live betting, same-game parlays, cash-out and streaming are all present, funded from $10 via PayPal, Venmo, online banking or Play+. Payouts land inside 0–24h. Worth considering if brand familiarity and a solid all-round app outweigh sharpest odds.
Standing out for its 8.6 withdrawals rating alongside fast-payout support, BetRivers clears cash inside 0–24h and offers same-game parlays and live betting. It hit best price on 28% of 478 sampled markets, but its 6.3% average margin is the highest here. Payments run through PayPal, online banking or Play+ from $10. A fit if quick, dependable withdrawals rank above the tightest pricing.
Distinguished by an 8.6-rated app despite modest 8.0 market coverage, ESPN BET keeps things streamlined with live betting, same-game parlays and cash-out. Deposits start at $10 through PayPal, Venmo or online banking, and withdrawals complete within a 0–24h window under state regulation. A sensible pick for casual bettors who value a clean, familiar-feeling app over the deepest sport catalogue.
Rounding out the list, Hard Rock Bet pairs an 8.5-rated app with an 8.3 withdrawals mark and fast-payout support, settling cash within 0–24h. Live betting and same-game parlays are covered, funded from $10 through PayPal, Venmo or online banking under state licensing. A reasonable option for those wanting reliable payouts and a straightforward app rather than the widest market depth.
Why MMA / UFC is a different ranking

On sampled MMA / UFC prices, DraftKings holds the best available line 55% of the time. Average margin across this MMA / UFC cut is 4.8% — a different number from the unfiltered country ranking.

Best for fight markets and depth: bet365
If you bet a full UFC card and want more than moneyline and total rounds, bet365 posts the highest market coverage (9.6) and sports depth (9.5) in this group. Its feature set lists Live Betting, Cash Out, Bet Builder and Live Streaming, so you can combine a fighter to win with a method or round selection and, where streaming rights allow, follow the action.
Choose bet365 if you want the widest range of props across a card and the strongest live score. It is licensed by state regulators including the New Jersey DGE. Availability depends on your state — check that it operates where you are before signing up.
Best priced odds on fights: DraftKings and Fanatics
Getting the top price on a moneyline favorite matters over a full card. Two books stand out in the sampled odds data:
- DraftKings returned the best available price on 54% of sampled markets (1,066 markets, 4.25% average margin) — the widest sample and the highest best-price rate here.
- Fanatics Sportsbook posted the best price on 42% of a smaller 466-market sample with the tightest average margin (4.24%).
FanDuel and Caesars each hit best-price on about 36% of their samples. BetMGM (19.5%) and BetRivers (28% with a 6.36% margin) came out narrower.
Odds shopping across two or three books is standard practice for MMA, where prices on the same fight can differ noticeably. Choose DraftKings for consistent pricing across a large market spread; consider Fanatics if you want a tight margin on the fights it covers.
Best for live betting and same game parlays
Fights swing fast, so in-play pricing is where a strong live engine earns its keep. bet365 (live capability 9.4) and FanDuel (8.9) lead, with DraftKings close behind (8.8).
For building a single-fight ticket — a fighter to win plus the round or method — the Same Game Parlay markets at DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN BET, Fanatics, Hard Rock Bet and BetRivers cover that structure. bet365 offers the same idea through its Bet Builder. FanDuel scores 8.9 on bet-builder-style markets and 9.3 on its app, a good combination if you build fight parlays on mobile.
Cash Out is listed for bet365, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars and ESPN BET, letting you settle a live position before the final horn.
Apps, payments and withdrawals
Every operator here has both iOS and Android apps and a $10 minimum deposit, with withdrawals quoted at 0–24 hours. The app scores separate them: bet365 and FanDuel lead at 9.3, DraftKings 9.2, then BetMGM 8.8, Fanatics 8.7 and ESPN BET 8.6.
Payment methods vary:
- PayPal is supported across all nine books.
- Venmo is listed for bet365, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN BET, Fanatics and Hard Rock Bet.
- Online Banking is available everywhere in this list.
- Play+ is listed for DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars and BetRivers.
- Visa is listed for bet365 and FanDuel.
On withdrawal ratings, BetRivers (8.6), bet365 (8.9) and FanDuel (8.7) rate highest. If fast, predictable cashouts are your priority, those are the ones to weigh first. See our PayPal betting sites and Venmo betting sites pages for method-specific options.
How state licensing affects your options
US sports betting is regulated state by state. An operator licensed in New Jersey is not automatically legal in another state — availability, the minimum age and the rules depend on your state regulator. The minimum age is 21.
Regulators include the New Jersey DGE, New York State Gaming Commission, Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and Michigan Gaming Control Board, among others. Live legal markets in our data include New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado, Ohio, Illinois, Arizona, Virginia and Massachusetts.
Before you deposit, confirm the book holds a licence in your state. Our legal betting sites United States page covers which operators run where.
Upcoming UFC fights to price
There is a full slate of UFC bouts on the calendar in our data to shop odds on. An August 19 card includes Alik Lorenz vs Mahamed Aly, Logan Paxton vs Cristian Pérez, Douglas Rodrigues vs Trent Miller, Namo Fazil vs Kaik Brito and Roman Puga vs Taner Trembley.
An August 22 card features Nasrat Haqparast vs Chris Padilla, Jackson McVey vs Wes Schultz, Jamall Emmers vs Lerryan Douglas, Marquel Mederos vs Mason Jones and Márcio Barbosa vs Ryan Kuse.
Compare moneylines and prop pricing on these across two or three books using our MMA / UFC odds page before locking in a ticket.
How we rank
Every operator on this page went through the same checklist before it could be listed for United States: we verify the licence against the regulator's public register, document the payment methods, minimum deposits and published withdrawal windows, review the apps and measure everyday odds against our live feed. Safety and payout reliability carry the heaviest weight in the final score, followed by payment coverage, app quality and pricing. If a site fails licence verification, it isn't ranked lower — it's excluded. This page re-weights the same checklist for MMA / UFC: operators that miss the payment method or the sport coverage drop out, and the remaining scores emphasise the intersection — not a copy of the parent ranking.
