FightMetric is proud to introduce the most advanced MMA simulation engine ever developed.The MATUA model harnesses the power of FightMetric’s deep database of statistics to simulate a match based on the two fighters’ past statistical performance. The simulation is run 10,000 times to reduce random chance and then produces the number of simulations in which each fighter won, by what method, and in which round.The resultingchnalysis, or MATUA, while not a true prognostication tool, produces a statistical view of upcoming fights that may see things that our eyes do not.The MATUA model was created by FightMetric Fellow John Candido. It is built upon a statistical analysis of every UFC fight of the modern era to determine which characteristics of MMA are most predictive of winners, method of victory, and duration of fight.
