UFC·Model edges
Where the model
disagrees with Vegas.
Tonight's slate ranked by the gap between the model's home-team win probability and the moneyline's de-juiced implied probability. The list runs largest gap first. Edges under 3 percentage points sit inside model noise; sharps tend to live at five or higher on the same side.
Model edges currently ship for the four leagues with live Elo: MLB · NBA · WNBA · NHL. UFC edges activate once a per-team rating system lands for this league.

How the UFC market works
UFC markets are dominated by moneyline (fighter to win) and method-of-victory (KO/TKO, submission, decision). Method-of-victory is the value-rich market — implied probability rarely matches the actual finishing rate of each fighter.
What the UFC model will weight
The factor stack
When UFC model edges ship, the rating engine will weight the factors below. The shape mirrors the MLB model that's live today, which back-tested at 55% on 2,932 games. The full methodology is at /methodology.

- 02Striking accuracy + significant strikes landed/absorbed
- 03Takedown success + defense rates
