Under8-9-4.44-26.1%

The strongest recent Heavyweight trend has been the Over. Overs went just 1-5 in 2024 before flipping to 8-2 for +5.41 units and +54.0% ROI in 2025. The only Heavyweight fight in the 2026 sample went Under, leaving the since-2025 Over record at 8-3 for +40.0% ROI.

The recent Over result is strong, but most of the profit came during 2025. More 2026 fights are needed before the trend can be considered as established as the Flyweight Over market.

Heavyweight Betting Trends by Year

YearFavorite ROIDog ROIOver ROIUnder ROI
2024+25.8%-67.5%-36.0%+29.9%
2025+8.7%-19.4%+54.0%-69.4%
2026 YTD+72.5%-100.0%-100.0%+70.0%

The 2026 row represents only one fight and should not be treated as a meaningful trend. The more useful Heavyweight read is the steady favorite performance combined with the sharp shift toward Overs in 2025.

Performance Summary

Based on the betting trends, RIZIN Heavyweight has historically been a favorable division for favorites. The developing totals angle is the Over, which is 8-3 for +40.0% ROI since 2025. The sample remains smaller than the major divisions, so current prices and matchup context remain especially important.
