I’m strongly considering putting a little cash on a decision win for every women’s fight I gamble on. I’ve got no stats to go off of (yet) but I feel like the vast majority of women’s mma fights go to the cards.

Thoughts?
 
Edit: fight metric says of the 808 womens ufc fights cross all weight classes, 511 of them ended in decisions. A whopping 63%
 
The odds are usually about -400.

You are not going to make any money blindly betting it
This is correct.

Honestly, I have the reverse strategy. Betting that HW fights between proven finishers do go the distance. In the last year I've hit massive upsets on:

Jailton vs Lewis
Despaigne vs Cortes
Despaigne vs Lane
 
No data to back this up, but I'm guessing the majority of WMMA fights that end itd are by sub or gnp. So if you're gonna target WMMA fights to go the distance, I'd say choosing fights where you know it's gonna be all kickboxing would make more sense.

As was pointed out though, you're gonna be paying big juice most of the time.
