How it would end
If they fought today, how the model thinks the fight would finish, whoever wins it.
How long it goes
As a three-round fight. "2.5 rounds" is halfway through round 3, 7 minutes 30 seconds of fight time; a fight that goes to the judges counts as over.
"Fair" is the American price with no bookmaker margin. The model is trained on when three-round UFC fights actually ended; it has no number for five-round fights.
The model's read over the last year
Islam Makhachev's chance if the fight had happened on each date, using only what was known about both fighters by then. It moves as fights, layoffs and birthdays happen.
