All too often, MMA bettors have a quick look at a fighter’s record and make a decision that’s solely based on this factor. While consistency should play a vital role in the confidence of a fighter, that’s not how MMA works. MMA fighters have to go head-to-head with many different kinds of opponents, and their record alone should not affect your bets.
Instead, you should try looking at your favorite fighter’s record with regards to their opponents. For instance, if they are set to fight a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu rockstar, then check to see how they fared against BBJ fighters in the past.
