Question 1

How does FightIQ make its picks?

Accepted Answer

FightIQ breaks down every fight on the card using publicly available stats and fight history from UFC.com, ESPN, Sherdog and Tapology. That includes newer prospects from Dana White's Contender Series. Each pick comes with a predicted winner, method and round based on how each fighter has actually finished fights.

Question 2

Does FightIQ cover every fight on the card?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every bout is covered, from the early prelims to the main event. A pick is only held back when a fighter's data fails our checks, and it goes up once the data is fixed.

Question 3

How do you predict a UFC fight?

Accepted Answer

Start with how each fighter wins and loses. Compare striking volume and accuracy, takedown offense against takedown defense, finishing rate, cardio over three or five rounds, and quality of past opponents. Then look at the style matchup, because a great wrestler facing weak takedown defense matters more than either fighter's overall record.

Question 4

How accurate are UFC predictions?

Accepted Answer

Betting favorites win roughly two out of three UFC fights, so any model worth following needs to beat that mark or find value on underdogs. No one predicts MMA perfectly. Small gloves and many ways to win make it one of the most unpredictable sports there is.
