The AI War in Combat Sports—Why Some Coaches Will Fight It, and Why They’ll Lose

Posted on March 14, 2025 by Julian Phillips

For decades, combat sports have been built on tradition—hard work, repetition, and gut instinct. Coaches passed down knowledge, fighters drilled techniques, and improvement came through trial and error.

That era is coming to an end.

AI is doing what experience alone never could— breaking down every strike with surgical precision, and optimizing technique in real time. Fighters who train with AI aren’t just working harder; they’re working smarter, improving in months what used to take years.

This is where combat sports is headed. The only question is: Are you evolving with it, or will you be left behind?

Posted on March 17, 2025 by A. J. Riot

What the Correlation Between Viewership Ratings and Sports Betting Tells Us About Engagement

Posted on March 13, 2025 by A. J. Riot

It should be pretty clear that betting on sports events is slowly merging with the broader culture of professional sports and the engagement around it. One of the biggest difference makers is the priority that each of us places when we engage in sports viewership. It also depends on the nature of that sport. Competitions with sparse events can generate a bigger viewership thanks to their exclusivity, while leagues with long annual tenures attract consistency.

Does Ring Rust Impact Performance in Modern MMA?

Posted on March 13, 2025 by A. J. Riot

The world’s best mixed martial artists today have a delicate balancing act that few observers comprehend. Though fans might wonder why their favorite fighters only compete two or three times annually, the reality involves a subtle ballet of physical recovery, strategic career management, and the ever-present threat of “ring rust.” The modern UFC schedule is a far cry from the early 1990s when fighters such as Dan Severn would regularly step into the ring 12-15 times per year. Today, this is vastly different, with more than 700 active UFC fighters vying for scarce positions across only twelve prominent pay-per-view events each year. With this lack of opportunity, athletes are compelled to extract maximum performance out of every venture while ensuring body protection for extended careers.

Most fans of the sport follow fighter activity closely through various media. Betting websites frequently include layoff times in their determination of odds, recognizing that more prolonged absences do have a significant influence on performance outcomes. Even if you click here for a promo code, you would want to know the potential absence the fighter had from the Octagon. Detailed analytics on fighter activity trends are even provided by some websites to direct wagering decisions. These services offer meaningful statistical context beyond win-loss records, enabling a better appreciation of how time between fights may affect future matchups.

MMA and the Art of Risk: How Fighters Strategize for Victory

Posted on March 12, 2025 by A. J. Riot

MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) has a long history that can be traced back to 648 BC when it was called Pankration (all powers) at the ancient Olympic games. This ancient form of the sport, which was a combination of wrestling, kicks, and punches closely resembled the modern form that is practiced today. Over the centuries, the sport adopted different fighting techniques from different combat disciplines, such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kung-fu, and Judo. Shooto was the first official MMA organization in Japan, though the first legal MMA league in the United States was created in 1980 in Pittsburgh. This brand is almost entirely controlled by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)
