Nurullo Aliev vs. Mike Davis
Our AI ensemble strongly favors Nurullo Aliev with an 80% win probability. This pick is driven by Aliev's superior skill rating and age advantage. Multiple experts highlight Aliev's better cardio defense ratio, lower significant strikes absorbed, and his status as being younger and less past his prime compared to Davis. These cumulative factors lead our model to favor Aliev, despite some expert opinions leaning towards Davis based on past performances.
Magomed Tuchalov vs. Brendson Ribeiro
The AI ensemble predicts Magomed Tuchalov as the winner with an 80% win probability. While many individual models favored Ribeiro, our ensemble's calibrated weighting, emphasizing Tuchalov's higher skill rating and win streak, leads to this outcome. This pick is a testament to how our ensemble synthesizes diverse data points to arrive at its conclusion.
Ismael Bonfim vs. Axel Sola
Our AI ensemble is predicting Axel Sola to win with an 80% win probability. This prediction is heavily influenced by Expert ζ's focus on Sola's knockdowns and recent win rate, combined with Expert β's factors such as Sola being younger and having a better Elo rating. These elements outweigh Expert κ's lean towards Bonfim based solely on skill rating.
Uran Satybaldiev vs. Dustin Jacoby
The AI ensemble favors Uran Satybaldiev with a 67% win probability, going against the web consensus. This pick is driven by a calibration of models that weigh Satybaldiev's age and past prime advantages, alongside his win over Leon Soares, as significant factors. While Jacoby's higher skill rating and significant strikes landed were considered, Satybaldiev's age-related advantages tipped the scales for our ensemble.
Abubakar Vagaev vs. Saygid Izagakhmaev
Our AI ensemble predicts Saygid Izagakhmaev as the winner. The ensemble's decision is influenced by factors such as Vagaev's higher sig strike accuracy and head strike share, as well as Vagaev's advantage in takedowns landed. However, the weighted combination of expert opinions, with several experts favoring Izagakhmaev, leads to this outcome.
Rizvan Kuniev vs. Tyrell Fortune
The AI ensemble strongly favors Tyrell Fortune with an 80% win probability. Fortune's takedown accuracy and win streak are key drivers for this prediction.

Magomed Zaynukov vs. Damian Rzepecki
Our AI ensemble predicts Magomed Zaynukov to win with a 63% win probability. This prediction is significantly influenced by Expert τ's analysis of past results, noting Zaynukov's wins over Erzhan Manarbek uly and Tamerlan Ashakhanov, and Rzepecki's loss to Michał Pezda. Expert κ's favor for Zaynukov based on skill rating also contributes to the ensemble's decision.
Islam Dulatov vs. Wellington Turman
