In MMA does the match have to go 3 full rounds if it's over 2.5 rounds?

If the fight end 1sec before the 2rd ends. Its considered a 2nd round knockout. Technically it goes over the "2.5" time wise, but it does not get scored that way. Its just recorded down as a 2nd rd finish.

I agree with that assessment. I'm just trying to jog my memory. I could've swore I had a boxing match or something years ago (don't bet boxing anymore) and it was something like over 7.5 rounds.

And they went by the time elapsed in the 7th round as the guy bit the dust in that round. Something to that effect.

wait a minute....




  • A total listed on a fight represents the total number of completed rounds. The halfway point of a round is at exactly two minutes and thirty seconds into a five minute round. Thus, 2 ½ rounds would be two minutes and thirty seconds of the 3rd round.
  • If an over/under total lands on the exact half round total in a fight, the wager will be a push.



so does this mean 2:31 is a winner?

Thales Leites def. Chris Camozzi via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 3, 2:58

  1. A total listed on a fight represents the total number of completed rounds. The halfway point of a round is at exactly two minutes and thirty seconds into a five minute round. Thus, 2½ rounds would be two minutes and thirty seconds of the 3rd round.


  1. If an over/under total lands on the exact half round total in a fight, the wager will be a push. If the phrase "Fight goes 2:30 round X", and the fight ends at exactly that second of that round, then "Fight goes" will be graded the winner.

  1. Unless otherwise noted, fights must take place within one week of the listed date of the fight or the bout will be graded "no action" and wagers refunded.
  2. Venue changes within the same country will not affect the status of pending wagers. Venue changes to a different country will result in a grade of "no action" on all pending wagers.
  3. If the number of scheduled rounds in a fight is changed, the following wagers will have action: the fight winner, fighter wins only, and draw options. "fight totals" & "will go / won't go" will have action if the updated scheduled rounds is more than the total listed on the proposition. Exact round of ending, fighter to win inside distance, win by decision, and goes distance propositions will all be no action if scheduled rounds are changed or misposted.
  4. Results will be graded based on the official result at ringside.
  5. A result may be revised or altered after initial presentation by the ring announcer. For wagering purposes, results are not official until verified by officials at the fighting venue. Official or unofficial sanctioning body overturns of a fight decision based on appeal, suspension, lawsuit, drug testing result, or any other fighter sanction will not be recognized for wagering purposes.
  6. A wager on a fighter "Inside Distance" wins if the selected fighter wins by KO, TKO, DQ, submission, or any other form of stoppage.
  7. A wager on a fighter to win by "KO/TKO" wins only if the fighter wins by KO, TKO or corner stoppage. A win by submission is not considered a KO/TKO in MMA.
  8. When a "draw" occurs, wagers on both fighters "to win" are refunded.
  9. Other proposition wagers are graded according to their specific wording.
  10. An "If Wins Only" wager loses when a fight ends in a draw.
  11. Any fight that is deemed "no contest" will have all wagers refunded.
  12. A total listed on a fight represents the total number of completed rounds. The halfway point of a round is at exactly two minutes and thirty seconds into a five minute round. Thus, 2½ rounds would be two minutes and thirty seconds of the 3rd round.
  13. If an over/under total lands on the exact half round total in a fight, the wager will be a push. If the phrase "Fight goes 2:30 round X", and the fight ends at exactly that second of that round, then "Fight goes" will be graded the winner.
  14. In round distance wagering, if a fighter fails to answer the bell for the start of any round, the fight officially ended in the last round fought.
  15. In total wagering, if a fighter does not answer the bell to start a round where the fight has gone the exact distance listed on the total, the UNDER is the winner.
  16. For wagers that state "will a fighter win in round x", that fighter must finish the fight in round x to win the prop. For example, if you bet YES for "Mark Coleman to win in round 3", then the fight must be stopped in Coleman's favor in round 3 for yes to be considered the winner. The only exception is if a fighter does not answer the bell for a round. Then the fight officially ended in the last round fought.
  17. Any fight involving an extra round or "sudden victory" round, this round will be included for wagering purposes.

Now the book has regraded it as a win. That's nice.

This would be correct, IMO. I mean, the final word is what their rules state.... and what I posted above would mean it's an over.

Everyone always assumes 2.5 means 3.. both boxing and MMA means half way thru the second
