Summary- Going forward in 2016 I intend to keep doing more of the same, hopefully with similar results. The UFC clearly accounts for most of my action and profit, although all other combat sports action combined added a little to the bottom line even though Bellator and other MMA were net losses individually. I had gradually increased my bet sizes and risked more on UFC cards over the course of the year 2015 and will likely do so incrementally in 2016, picking spots where I see value and putting say, 2 or 3 units on dogs or close favorites that I like instead of my usual 1 or 2 units. Usual total risk for me on UFC cards is now 20-30 one hundred dollar standard units for the bigger cards. I may experiment with making some bigger prop plays as well in key spots if they have good odds, like say 1+ units on decision or ITD props versus .4 or .5 unit risks. I'll probably also go a little bigger in live betting.

You were an all star this year. Congrats on your great year. You're a great addition to the forum

well done, jim

nice year , u da man   

get em Jim 

Good work!

That's one of the whole card props available for most UFC cards where you are betting before the first fight starts that out of the twelve or so fights on the card that only zero, one or two out of them will go the distance ie to a decision rather than end in a stoppage or No Contest somewhere before the end of the third round horn. I usually bet those in sequence so on that particular card I actually won on fights to go distance under 5½, under 4½, under 3½ and under 2½ all at increasing odds and made a lot of money.
