UFC Value Patterns
Prelim props are the softest market on the card
Bookmaker modeling effort concentrates on the main event and co-main. Prelim and early-prelim fights regularly have 8–15% effective margin on round group and ITD markets vs 4–6% on the main. The prop scanner ranks the entire card so prelim edge is visible alongside main-event picks.
Method-of-victory is matchup-dependent, not fighter-dependent
A striker vs grappler matchup pushes method probabilities away from decision. A striker vs striker pushes toward decision (defensive standup). When a book misses this matchup nuance — common on Fight Night cards — method-of-victory edge runs 5–10% per leg.
Watch the fight-week line move after weigh-ins
Failed weight cuts, injury news, and last-minute replacements move UFC lines significantly. Friday weigh-ins to Saturday fight day is a 24-hour window where pricing updates aren't uniform across books — the scanner flags moves of 5+ cents on individual fighters.
Don't bet ITD without checking pace + cardio
Fighters known for fast starts (high R1 finish rate) and fighters known for late-cardio fades (R3 finishes) skew ITD probability. The scanner's ITD ranker accounts for historical R1 / R2 / R3 finish distribution, not just career finish rate.
