Probabilities are generated by a production grade model after 100+ iterations, it is a weighted ensemble of various frontier foundation transformers and tree models (TabDPT 1.3 + TabPFN-3 + TabICLv2 + CatBoost + LightGBM) using 8,700+ data points and curating 39 mathematical features such as opponent-adjusted decayed performance (AdjPerf), striking/grappling reliability, Elo trend, and physical differentials. This is an ongoing project/research which will be improved with each event as I get to know its shortcomings and strengths.
| Period | Fights | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 (Dec) | 8 | 75.0% |
| 2025 | 271 | 66.8% |
| 2026 (Jan–Jun) | 137 | 63.5% |
| Full test | 416 | 65.9% |
R51 test set: predicted probability vs actual win rate. Closer to the diagonal = better calibrated.
R51 permutation importance on the test set. Higher = more predictive signal.
