Results are in from today’s DREAM 2: Olympia, which took place in Japan earlier today. If you’d like to listen to this rundown instead of read it, here’s the 3 minute mp3 version.

Here is a snapshot of how our predictors performed here on MMAPredictions.com for the event overall, which you can see by going to the card’s detailed results page.

• 278 MMAPredictions users predicted on tonight’s card.
• No one of those 278 predicted every fight correctly. TheReed and SteveBJJ came the closest, both incorrectly predicting the outcome of just one fight .
• The average of all our users’ prediction accuracies for the card’s 8 fights on MMAPredictions was 36.2% making this card very unpredictable. Since MMAPredictions’ inception, the average prediction accuracy across all fight cards is in the low fifties.

Most easily-predicted fight outcome: We have a tie for this category (again, sigh)! Ninety-eight percent of users knew that Jacare and Kazushi Sakuraba would win their respective fights against Ian Murphy and Andrew Nakahara. Neither Murphy nor Nakahara had even fought in a pro MMA event before in their lives, so these outcomes were shockers to few. Both of these fights were won by submission.

Most surprising fight outcome: Minowaman loss by unanimous decision to Taiei Kin. Only 9% of predictors knew that Kin had it in him to defeat the much more experienced Ikuhisa Minowa.

Next up on MMAPredictions.com is the International Fight League’s event IFL: New Blood New Battles which takes place on May 16th in Connecticut.
