Comparing the strength of schedule of Michael “Venom” Page and Anderson Silva through 18 fights

Posted on January 3, 2020 by Richard Mann

During the broadcast of Bellator 237, former referee turned commentator “Big” John McCarthy mentioned that Michael Page’s schedule through his career so far has been similar in terms of difficulty to that of former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva through the same stretch. Since Page has developed the reputation of a can smasher, this comment raised the ire of many MMA fans on social media. On its face, the comment is absurd. In his first 18 fights, Silva claimed the Shooto middleweight (168-pound) championship and knocked off a former UFC welterweight champion. But is the comparison really that outlandish?

Using Fight Matrix ranking points, it is possible to approximate the level of difficulty both fighters have faced through their first 18 fights. Every year, the website publishes the “Upsets of the Year” award. The most simple calculation is “Most Noteworthy,” which is the difference in ranking points (ranking points of a fighter minus the ranking points of an opponent). The higher the number, the larger the favorite. Through their first 18 fights, Page’s average most noteworthy score is 22.83, while Silva’s 21.61. However, that does not tell the entire story. Page’s average is buttressed by his fight against Douglas Lima. He went in as a heavy underdog against the Bellator champion and got knocked out in the second round. Without that fight, his average most noteworthy score rises to 41.35.

Also, Page’s level of opposition has declined significantly following his only career defeat. He has been a heavy favorite in his last three fights over Richard Keily, Gianni Melillo and Shinzo Anzai. The spike on the following chart is quite evident.


(Click here for the interactive Tableau Public version of this chart)

It would also be unfair to Silva to ignore that fact that his a large portion of his early opposition went on to have solid careers. When he fought Luiz Azeredo, Fabricio Camoes and Roan Carneiro they were a combined 3-2. All three went on to have extensive careers in major promotions such as the UFC and Pride FC. While those fighters blossomed later in their careers, it seems unlikely that will happen for some of Page’s early opponents. His first two opponents, Ben Dishman and Miguel Bernard, are still a combined 0-6 nearly eight years later.

While it does seem like large McCarthy was shilling from the commentary booth, Page’s early career run has not been that facile. However, his team and Bellator have clearly tried to give him a softer touch as of late.

How To Get Started With Mixed Martial Arts

Posted on December 15, 2019 by A. J. Riot

Anyone can try Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) for fitness or to become a real fighter. It is essential to know where to start if you wish to get the most out of your training. Here are some tips to help you get started with this sport:

Do your Research

Bowling vs Other Sports: Which One is Better? 

Posted on October 12, 2019 by A. J. Riot

Choosing the right sport for your needs might be a daunting experience, especially with all the options available. When you want to play a game that will involve your entire body and will not require you to utilize a too much energy in the process, bowling becomes the right option. However, there are also other benefits that your body might experience when you engage in playing other sports. If you’re still unsure of which sport you should get into with the little free time you get for recreation, here is a brief guide that will help you make the right choice.

Bowling vs Trampoline

These two sports are completely on a different level, and they all have their ideal benefits to a person. Children often use the trampoline as a way of bouncing up and down while they play. On the other hand, adults use the trampoline as a way of exercising and doing some incredible stunts that they wouldn’t achieve without the trampoline. With the trampoline bed, adults can perform some exceptional athletics and get their entire body worked out.

On the other hand, bowling involves rippling a ball through a set of ten pins at the end of the alley. To achieve great results with a single strike, then you will require to be skilled and with exceptional aiming abilities. The game requires you to have outstanding coordination between your arms, legs, and general body muscles.

Like jumping on a trampoline bed, bowling involves the entire body and can be used to correct some health issues. To learn more differences between the two sports and which is best for you, you can check this website. Keep Reading

Fight Matrix Ranking Points for ONE Championship Flyweight Tournament

Posted on March 27, 2019 by Richard Mann

On Sunday former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson will fight outside the Octagon for the first time since 2010 as he makes his debut for ONE Championship. The card, dubbed “A New Era” will feature the first round of a flyweight tournament. Johnson is a heavy favorite in the field, and he is the only fighter in the bracket who is currently ranked inside the top 10. It will be interesting to see how ONE progresses as a promotion with a few high level signings and a new U.S. television deal. In the past, high profile fighters, such as Ben Askren, have struggled to maintain their Fight Matrix ranking due to lack of competition. How will it effect Johnson’s legacy? Given the lack of depth of the flyweight and bantamweight divisions outside of the UFC, it will be hard to see how ONE will provide strong opponents for Johnson without co-promoting with another promotion like Bellator or Rizin. Even those two companies had to join forces to make a super fight for champions Kyoji Horiguchi and Darrion Caldwell.

The following chart shows the career ranking points for all competitors in the upcoming ONE Championship flyweight tournament. An interactive version is available via Tableau Public.
