How each fight might end: the model's chances by method and round

Three separate estimates: who wins, the likeliest way the fight ends, and how far it is likely to go. Each was tested on past fights it never trained on before it was published. This is an experimental model: winner forecasts are graded on every new card, method and round are not yet graded, and it has not been shown to have an edge over the market.

UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs. Nolan

9 of 12 bouts carry a model read · Sat, Oct 31, 5:00 PM ET · Meta APEX. The other 3 have too little tracked history and are named below rather than guessed.
