AI Reasoning (why the models picked this)

Andre Fili's age and past prime status are significant drivers, with Kai Kamaka III also showing advantages in significant strikes landed and body strike share. Despite one model favoring Andre Fili due to reach and strike absorption, the ensemble ultimately favors Kai Kamaka III due to calibrated weighting of these factors.

  • Statistical Model β: Model β favors Kai Kamaka III, citing Andre Fili being past his prime and older than Kai Kamaka III.
  • Statistical Model ε: Model ε favors Andre Fili, based on Andre Fili's reach advantage and Kai Kamaka III absorbing more significant strikes.

How Similar Fights Ended

286 historical bouts

Every past fight is placed by the SHAPE of its mismatch — how far apart the two fighters were on each of 37 career measures, setting aside which one was ahead. Fights that sit close together form a profile. Below is how the 286 bouts in this bout's profile actually ended.

56% Reached the judges
44% Ended early
31% KO/TKO 13% Submission 6:18 Median finish, round 2
When those finishes came

This is a base rate over similar past matchups, not a prediction about these two fighters. It is drawn from what happened historically, and the profile is blind to which corner is which — so it can say how fights like this one tend to go, and nothing at all about who wins.

Fights with a similar mismatch

Every fighter is reduced to a profile of 37 career measures as they stood going into the fight, standardised so that no single measure dominates merely for having bigger units — a far wider read than the six charted below. The bout is then described by the gap between the two: how far apart they were on each of those measures, setting aside which one was ahead. The fights listed here are those whose gaps line up most closely with this one. Because the match is on the shape of a mismatch rather than on a weight class or an era, a neighbour can come from an entirely different division.

Two completely different pairs can produce the same mismatch. 100% would be an identical gap; two fights picked at random score about 36%, so a number near that means there is no real comparable on record.

Betting Edge

Fighter Win confidence DraftKings odds Break-even Edge
Andre Fili 40.0% 1.65 60.6% -34.0%
Kai Kamaka III 60.0% 2.30 43.5% +38.0%

Odds are the latest we have from DraftKings. Edge = win confidence × decimal odds − 1, so a positive edge means the price pays more than our model thinks the fighter is worth.

Break-even = 1 ÷ decimal odds — the win rate you would need at that price just to come out level. It is the raw price, with the bookmaker's margin still in it, so the two fighters' break-evens add up to more than 100%: that surplus is the book's cut, not a mistake.

Recommended stake 15% of bankroll on Kai Kamaka III at 2.30 (DraftKings) * Model output, not betting advice. Bet responsibly.
