fight.

A dual-ensemble ML model trained on 8,500+ fights. Live-trial accuracy 59.3% on n=59 across 5 cards. LOCK tier 11-1 in 2026 (mostly mechanical agreement with extreme market favorites; one real LOCK, one loss — Chimaev at 80% to all three models lost to Strickland on UFC 328 main. See methodology).

Built different

Most prediction sites give you gut feelings dressed up as analysis. We give you a machine that learns from every fight ever thrown.

01

Every Fight. Ever.

8,500+ UFC fights spanning 12+ years. Striking, grappling, physical attributes, Elo ratings, historical odds — all cleaned and structured.

02

Engineered Intelligence

We don't just look at records. Proprietary features capture style matchups, momentum, aging curves, and how fighters perform under pressure.

03

Multi-Model Ensemble

Four algorithms compete and collaborate. A dual architecture blends market-aware and market-blind predictions to avoid overfitting.

04

Find the Edge

We scan betting markets in real time. When our model disagrees with the market, we flag it. That's where the money is.

Four models. One prediction.

Each algorithm sees the fight differently. When they agree, we're confident. When they don't, we tell you.

Model A

Statistical foundation — finds the signal in the noise

Model B

Pattern recognition — learns complex matchup dynamics

Model C

Speed optimised — processes every angle at scale

Model D

Robustness engine — guards against overfitting

Spot mispriced fights

We scan Polymarket and sportsbook lines in real time and compare them against our model probabilities. When the market is wrong, we flag it.

If our model says a fighter wins 76% of the time but the market prices them at 62%, that's a +14% edge. We surface these opportunities so you can act on them.
