How accurate are PodiumOracle's UFC predictions?

On 1,663 games from held-back seasons (2024 to 2026), which the model never saw while it was tuned, the side it favoured won 60% of the time. Its log loss was 0.668, against 0.693 for the base rate and 0.674 for recent form. Against the betting markets on the same finished games, its log loss was 0.666 against the bookmakers' 0.596 over 508 games, 0.688 against Polymarket's 0.630 over 106 games and 0.665 against Kalshi's 0.592 over 667 games (lower is better).

How are the UFC predictions made?

Every fighter has a rating that moves after each result, by more when the result was a surprise. The gap between two ratings, plus home advantage, gives each game's chance. The settings are chosen on older seasons and tested on the most recent ones.
