why does it say he has 64% on ufcstats

The UFC Apex era is insane when you see it visually. The first recorded UFC Apex fights in my dataset were on June 18, 2019. Since then, the Apex has climbed to 1,623 recorded fights — more than every other venue in this top 10 combined. T-Mobile Arena is 2nd with 419. The Apex isn’t just No. 1… it’s in its own category. #UFC #MMA #FightStats #UFCStats

Crazy how Khamzat had like 10 minutes of control time and didn't land a single significant ground strike (on UFCstats)

🚨 #UFCPerth Fight Breakdown 🚨 Kody Steele (7-1-0) vs. Dom “Street Buddha” Mar Fan (9-2-0) Lightweight • 155 lbs • 3 x 5 rounds Prelims • RAC Arena, Perth | May 2 🔸 Steele is fun to watch — volume striker with solid grappling. But he’s fun because he basically blocks with his face. 7.17 SApM 😳 (UFCStats) 🔹 Dom is LONG — 4-inch reach advantage (75” vs 71”) cleaner striking. If he keeps it standing on home soil, I like the upset win to open the card. Official pick? See the next post in the thread ⬇️ Who you got in the card opener and why?

Confirmed: Polastri 63 SS hits (78 on ufcstats)

And just like that, UFCstats tweet something retard just like always.

📊 @MovsarUFC lands about 4.5 takedowns per 15 minutes, placing him in the top 3% of the featherweight division in that regard. He is facing Murphy tomorrow at #UFCLondon , which has a below average takedown defense. How does this fight play out? #UFC #MMAanalytics #ufcstats

Damn, ufcstats didn’t even count the Garbrandt knockdown. Long out struck Cody 59-28… definitely Long’s fight imo. But optics wise, I can still see why a judge would give Cody round 1.

WOW. Super impressed. My @UFC gambling days are long behind me, but I’ve always wanted to build a Monte Carlo ML UFC fight predictor. Every time I tried I’d stall out on the same pain points — scraping UFCStats, cleaning and maintaining the data, engineering features, and then actually training and tuning the model was just way too much overhead for a “side project.” All of this was way too much for any AI coding agent to handle months just few months ago. Fast forward to today and @perplexity_ai Computer just one‑shot the entire thing for ~780 credits. It spun up a database of 4,455 fighters from UFCStats with full career stats and fight history, a Monte Carlo engine running 10,000 simulations per matchup with fatigue and finish probabilities, plus a logistic regression model scoring 15 features like striking differential, grappling, win rate, recent form, and physical attributes. Then it blends both into a single combined probability, adds a confidence score, and on top of that gives you: winner win probability, method of victory breakdown, round‑by‑round finish odds, a clean stat comparison view, and even an EV calculator so you can plug in sportsbook lines and instantly see where the EV is. A year ago this was a multi‑week build for a pretty advanced coder. Now it’s basically a prompt and some credits. Feel free to try the app with the link below.
