Real UFC history since 2006, using each fighter's record, form and stats as they stood
before every past fight. Only patterns that hold up statistically (corrected for
testing many ideas at once) and point the same way in both halves of history are shown —
these describe the past, they are not predictions.

When it ends
"Over 1.5" means the fight lasts past the middle of round 2, the way sportsbooks settle it. Fair odds
are the break-even price with no vig, so compare them with a book's line.
On unseen fights this model beat the plain base rate by about 4%
(log loss; 51% of 3-round fights go the distance),
so treat it as a tilt away from the base rate, not a certainty.
