Guaranteed Best UFC Free Picks & Fight Night Predictions from Experts
Best Free UFC Picks & Predictions for All the MMA Fights
What you’ll find here: Free picks and predictions for:
- UFC Pay-Per-View Events: Every major UFC PPV (championship bouts, marquee matchups, etc.).
- UFC Fight Nights: Weekly UFC Fight Night cards and UFC on ESPN events.
- Bellator & PFL Fights: Top bouts from Bellator MMA and the Professional Fighters League, when great betting opportunities arise.
- Other Big Fights: Occasional picks for notable fights in other promotions – and even boxing super-fights (as special extras for fight fans).
These predictions are posted by our experts usually a day or two before fight night (and sometimes on fight day), complete with the bet type and a quick analysis for each pick.
Keep in mind: free picks are a great way to sample our experts’ insights, but they’re not guaranteed locks – they’re often strong leans that just missed the cut for the premium card. If you want the absolute highest-confidence plays, read on about our premium picks.

Guaranteed Best UFC Free Picks & Fight Night Predictions from Experts
Betting on MMA fights can be as thrilling – and challenging – as the bouts themselves. Unlike team sports, anything can happen in the cage. In fact, MMA is known for its unpredictability – favorites win only about 68% of UFC bouts, meaning underdogs prevail roughly 32% of the time. With upsets so common, having expert insight on your side is crucial.
Our tipsters do the homework so you don’t have to – analyzing fight matchups, fighting styles, training camps, injuries, and even weigh-in results, all of the smart MMA handicapping angles, to uncover smart bets. By tapping into our team’s combined knowledge, you get MMA betting predictions grounded in experience and data, rather than just hype or gut feeling.
Here at Boyd’s Bets, we’ve assembled a roster of 90+ expert handicappers across all sports, and a select group of them specialize in MMA. Many of our experts share at least one free pick on big fight cards, giving you a chance to see their thought process and get a feel for their style.
We prioritize transparency – with every free pick, you’ll see the time it was released and the odds for the bet. That way you know our UFC picks use the same betting lines available to you, and our cappers aren’t claiming a better number than you can actually get. We want you to trust that the advice here is genuine and up-to-date.
Another tip: pay attention to the analysis our handicappers provide with each pick. They’ll often highlight key factors like a fighter’s recent performance, stylistic matchup, ground game vs. striking, or even intangible angles like motivation and fight location. This insight can help you learn how to bet on UFC fights more effectively on your own.
We encourage you to enjoy making your own picks as you gain experience – betting on fights is even more fun when you can spot good opportunities yourself. And if you ever feel uncertain, our daily free predictions are here as a guiding light.
Top MMA Handicappers & Finding Your Winning Strategy
One size doesn’t fit all in MMA betting. Different MMA handicappers have different approaches and strengths, and part of becoming a successful bettor is finding an expert whose philosophy aligns with yours.
For example, some of our cappers focus mainly on UFC main events and big-name fights, zeroing in on “locks” for high-profile bouts. Others cast a wider net across multiple organizations – UFC, Bellator, PFL, even boxing – hunting for value in undercard fights or lesser-known fighters. Some handicappers might release a pick on every fight of a UFC card to grind out a profit on volume, while others are highly selective, only releasing a play when they see a major edge.
Whatever your preference, you can find a proven expert that fits your style.
We maintain a live-updated leaderboard of the best MMA handicappers in our network, so you can see who’s consistently beating the odds. Check out our top MMA handicappers page to view the long-term records and profits of our experts. These are proven MMA betting experts who have shown they can profit over the long haul – the top UFC pick specialists on our site combine disciplined strategy with deep fight analysis to give you an edge.
As of the latest update, a couple of our MMA cappers (like Bobby Conn and Hunter Price) have earned several thousand dollars in profit on fight picks, demonstrating the kind of success that’s possible with the right approach. By following the top performers, you essentially tap into a wealth of knowledge and a track record of success – they’ve done the hard work of studying fighters and trends, so you can bet with confidence.
Finally, remember that not everyone is looking for the same thing in a tipster. Some of you might want an analyst who provides detailed breakdowns of every matchup; others might prefer a handicapper who’s on a hot streak this season, or one who consistently hits underdog picks for big payouts.
Take a look at the profiles and past results of our experts (win percentages, ROI, profit, etc.) to find the one that suits you best. You can even try out a few by following their free picks first, then decide whose premium picks you want to jump on. We’re confident that with the right expert in your corner, UFC betting can turn from a wild gamble into a smart investment.
Start winning on fight night: We update our free UFC and MMA picks daily so you’ll always have fresh predictions for the next event. Good luck, enjoy the fights, and as always – bet smart and responsibly!
