Breakdown of UFC 85
Okay, so UFC 85 is behind us and boy was it a doozy. All we can say is “upset upset upset upset”. In fact in 8 of the 11 fights, the fighter predicted to win by all our users here on MMAPredictions lost.
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.
- 526 MMAPredictions users predicted on the card.
- The average of all our users’ prediction accuracies for the card’s 11 fights on MMAPredictions was 26.7% making this card way less predictable than most MMA events. On average we can expect about half of a fight card to be correctly predicted by our users on this site.
- No one predicted all of the eleven fights correctly, but perennially good MMA predictor JonnyBoy deserves special mention for getting 81% of the card’s fights correct!
Average percent of card correctly predicted: 27%
Most easily-predicted fight outcome: Ninety-two percent of our predictors knew Michael Bisping would defeat Jason Day, which he did in the first round by TKO.
Most surprising fight outcome: Kevin Burns, who we interviewed on MMAPredictions Radio just the other day, defeated Roan Carneiro by triangle choke in the second round. Only 14 % of our predictors thought he would win. Maybe those were the people who listened to his interview!
