(This story was updated to add new information.)

Take a look at the 2025 betting upsets in the UFC.

For an underdog to be included on this list, the favorite had to be a consensus minimum of -150 across major sportsbooks. That will keep the list from being populated with truly minor upsets from betting lines that easily could have swung the opposite way.

Fighters are listed alphabetically, followed by an event-by-event upset tracker.
