Vitals, record, nickname and camp come from the public UFC fighter register and are current, not a snapshot of fight night. UFC bouts, finish rate and every storyline line are counted off the official UFC fight record. A tick marks the side holding the raw edge in that row — longer reach, taller, younger, more bouts, a higher finish rate. It is a fact about the tape, not a prediction, and rows with no clean comparison (record, stance, gym, hometown) carry no tick at all. Any row we cannot fill on both sides is left out rather than half-drawn. Streaks, bout counts and finish rates are as they stood going into this fight — this bout and everything after it is excluded from the count.

Judges · this round · Yannis firstMichael Bell9–10Ron McCarthy9–10Tony Weeks9–10

Significant strikes, takedowns, control time, knockdowns and submission attempts exactly as UFCStats recorded them for this bout, round by round. Zone percentages are that round’s landed head, body and leg counts over their own total — raw arithmetic, nothing modelled or smoothed. A round in which a fighter landed nothing shades empty and reads zero; it is never filled in from the round before.

Official cards come from the UFCStats fight record and MMA Decisions. Media cards and the fan vote are MMA Decisions’ own collection and are not official. Judge tendency figures are that judge’s whole recorded history, not this bout — they are context for how a card was scored, never a claim that it was scored wrongly.

Marcus McGhee

0.31takedowns / 15 min

Career UFC takedown rates exactly as UFCStats publishes them: takedowns landed per 15 minutes, completion rate, submission attempts per 15 minutes, and the share of takedowns tried on them that they stuffed. Attempts per 15 is the one derived figure — landed ÷ completion rate — and it is omitted wherever either input is missing. UFCStats writes 0% where no attempt was recorded at all, so a percentage of exactly zero reads “n/a” here rather than as a measured rate. “Field” is the average fighter in that weight class, or across every division where a class is too small to average. Rate bars run to the population’s 95th percentile (5.45 takedowns / 15m); a fighter above it pins the bar. Percentages are drawn on their own axis.

The market story

What the market did on the way to the cage — the price, not our model. The gold marker is where our pick was frozen.

John Yannis vs Marcus McGhee — implied win chance over timeLine chart. Market-implied win chance for John Yannis and Marcus McGhee from Jun 01 to Jun 06, drawn from Polymarket and the sportsbook consensus. John Yannis moves from 54% to 22% and Marcus McGhee from 46% to 78%. A gold marker sits at the first snapshot in this window — our pick was frozen before the window opened, not at that price.15%25%35%45%55%65%75%85%Jun 1Jun 3Jun 4Jun 5Jun 6▲ our call: Marcus McGhee (LOW)22%78%

From the open the market drifted toward our pick: Marcus McGhee's implied chance moved up from 46% to 78% (+31.5pp). Our pick was frozen at the model cutoff, before this window opened — so the gold marker sits at the first snapshot we hold, not at a price we were reacting to.

This series stops at Jun 06 22:57Z — the last capture we hold from before the bout that ran ahead of this one on the card had finished — so it is provably from before this fight started. Our capture window is card-level and kept running through the fight, so what follows it in the raw file is the market collapsing live and then paying out at 1.00 / 0.00. That is a settlement, not price history: it is not drawn, and it is not counted in the figures below.

Our published call had Marcus McGhee at 57.6%. At the last price we captured before the fight, the de-vigged market had him at 77.5% — our number sat 19.9pp below the market’s. Two numbers, side by side. How our calls have actually done is the public record, not one bout.
