Nate Landwehr vs Mandel Nallo

Lightweight, 3 rounds on UFC Fight Night: Buckley vs. Malott. The model read both fighters' histories.

How much history is behind this. Mandel Nallo has only 1 tracked UFC bout in our corpus (fewer than the 2 we count as known), so this read leans on Nate Landwehr's 11 tracked bouts and on league-average priors for Mandel Nallo. Treat it as weaker than a bout where both fighters have at least 2 tracked bouts.

The model's method read has a decision as the most likely of three endings (39%), short of a majority.

“Goes the distance” is the method head’s decision probability, not a separate model — so it cannot disagree with the bar above it.

Method

Where these numbers come from

Three separate heads — winner, method and round — each fitted on a corpus of tracked UFC fights and each 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.

Winner 60.6% accurate over 3,557 held-out fights · baseline 50% · log loss 0.6615 against 0.6931

Method 52.7% accurate over 3,557 held-out fights · baseline 46.7% · log loss 0.9692 against 1.0255
