UFC TUF 17 Finale [Non-TUF Only] / Odds vs. Ratings (04-13-2013)

Posted on April 13, 2013 by Jason

This is not an attempt to suggest the rating system is more accurate than gambling odds. Gamblers can analyze each fight individually, while the rating system uses a variety of mathematical routines to supply a primary fighter rating that is focused on ranking recent achievement, with a secondary priority of gauging future expectation.

With that said, there are some caveats to using the rating vs. odds comparison straight-up — the “Gotcha” list:

System inability to project the exact effects of a recent divisional change.
System inability to project the exact effects of recent inactivity.
Poor matchmaking / limited careers / “changing of the guard”.
Notable home advantage.
System inability to project style differences.
System inability to factor in bad judging decisions.

But this stuff (especially #5) is pretty much common sense. We try to partially factor in #1-#3 when we compute the ratings, but #5 and #6 is something that the human can factor in, that the system can’t. For the sake of these articles, we’ll attempt to factor in #4 when relevant. Home advantage can have a slight effect, but likely not enough to sway the “I’d bet on” decision.

Experienced gamblers know that it’s not about being right the most, it’s about making the most money. So in the usual table, I’ll add the “I’d bet on” column and analyze the rating/odds gap plus points #1-4 that I listed above.I’ll leave #5 and #6 to the fully subjective analyses (except for when Leonard Garcia is involved for #6) — of which I’m sure there will be plenty.

The gotchas aren’t necessarily comprehensive, but I have noted them as I come across them and when they are considered in the decision.

Having said all that, let’s get started:

Ratings vs. Odds

Fight	Odds Favorite	Rating Favorite	I’d bet on	“Gotchas”
Lawrence vs. Pineda	Pineda (-117 / Pick ‘Em)	Pineda (2.11x / Large)	Pineda
Sicilia vs. Blanco	Blanco (-160 / Small)	Blanco (1.24x / Very Small)	PASS	#1
Miller vs. Palaszewski	Palaszewski (-170 / Small)	Palaszewski (2.11x / Large)	Palaszewski
Hester vs. Marunde	Hester (-161 / Small)	Marunde (2.02x / Large)	Marunde
Browne vs. Gonzaga	Browne (-258 / Moderate)	Gonzaga (1.34x / Small)	Gonzaga
Tate vs. Zingano	Zingano (-124 / Pick ‘Em)	Tate (1.57x / Moderate)	PASS	#3
Faber vs. Jorgensen	Faber (-464 / Large)	Faber (2.29x / Large)	PASS

The PASS suggests that the odds and ratings difference are nearly identical and/or there are too many gotchas, so neither fighter is a good bet.

Favorites to consider: Pineda, Palaszewski

Underdogs to consider: Marunde, Gonzaga

New Feature: Fight Outcomes By Year

Posted on April 12, 2013 by Oleg

A couple of years ago, we published a compilation of all UFC fight outcomes by year, from 1993 to 2010.

By popular request, we decided to make this a permanent feature. We created a page for UFC statistics, and another one for all MMA fights in our database. There are also some statistics on fight outcome percentages, and a breakdown of different decision types. So read on:

UFC on FuelTV 9 / Odds vs. Ratings (04-06-2013)

Posted on April 3, 2013 by Jason

With that said, there are some caveats to using the rating vs. odds comparison straight-up — the “Gotcha” list:

System inability to project the exact effects of a recent divisional change.
System inability to project the exact effects of recent inactivity or short notice scheduling.
Poor matchmaking / limited careers / “changing of the guard”.
Notable home advantage.
System inability to project style differences.
System inability to factor in bad judging decisions.

The gotchas aren’t necessarily comprehensive, but I have noted them as I come across them and when they are considered in the decision.

Having said all that, let’s get started:

Ratings vs. Odds

Fight	Odds Favorite	Rating Favorite	I’d bet on	“Gotchas”
Abedi vs. Yousef	Abedi (-139 / Very Small)	Abedi (1.59x / Moderate)	Abedi
Lawlor vs. Kuiper	Lawlor (-184 / Moderate)	Lawlor (1.52x / Moderate)	PASS
Alloway vs. LaFlare	LaFlare (-192 / Moderate)	Alloway (1.41x / Small)	PASS	#3
Brimage vs. McGregor	McGregor (-166 / Small)	McGregor (1.06x / Pick ‘Em)	PASS	#1
Amagov vs. Spang	Amagov (-166 / Small)	Amagov (2.41x / Large)	Amagov
Troeng vs. Cella	Troeng (-239 / Moderate)	Troeng (6.90x / Massive)	PASS	#3, #4
Johnson vs. Madadi	Johnson (-232 / Moderate)	Johnson (1.88x / Large)	PASS	#4
Peralta vs. Corassani	Peralta (-357 / Large)	Peralta (3.55x / Massive)	Peralta	#4
Brandao vs. Garza	Brandao (-212 / Moderate)	Garza (1.44x / Small)	Garza
Pickett vs. Easton	Pickett (-160 / Small)	Pickett (1.43x / Small)	PASS
Mitrione vs. De Fries	Mitrione (-328 / Large)	Mitrione (1.67x / Moderate)	De Fries
Pearson vs. Couture	Pearson (-402 / Large)	Pearson (1.08x / Pick ‘Em)	Couture
Mousasi vs. Latifi	Mousasi (-1190 / Massive)	Mousasi (2.58x / Large)	Latifi	#2, #4

The PASS suggests that the odds and ratings difference are nearly identical and/or there are too many gotchas, so neither fighter is a good bet.

Favorites to consider: Abedi, Amagov, Peralta

Underdogs to consider:

Latifi over Mousasi – A true shot in the dark, but -1190 is ridiculous territory and Latifi is actually a quality opponent.
De Fries over Mitrione – A very small bet, as we think De Fries is a slight bargain.
Couture over Pearson – Couture is a great bargain and although not favored by the ratings, Pearson is no world beater himself.
Garza over Brandao – All things considered, Garza looks like a decent bet here.
