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 · Robertson firstChris Bolinski10–9Sal D'Amato10–9Rick Winter10–9

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.

0.93takedowns / 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 (4.04 takedowns / 15m); a fighter above it pins the bar. Percentages are drawn on their own axis.

Gillian Robertson vs Mackenzie Dern — implied win chance over timeLine chart. Market-implied win chance for Gillian Robertson and Mackenzie Dern from Aug 06 to Aug 15, drawn from Polymarket and the sportsbook consensus. Gillian Robertson moves from 55% to 36% and Mackenzie Dern from 46% to 64%. A gold marker sits at the first snapshot in this window — our pick was frozen before the window opened, not at that price.10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%Aug 6Aug 8Aug 11Aug 13Aug 15▲ we passed here (toss-up)36%64%

Mackenzie Dern's implied chance drifted up from 46% to 64% (+18.0pp) over this window. 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.

Our published call had Mackenzie Dern at 53.5%. At the last price we captured before the fight, the de-vigged market had him at 63.5% — our number sat 10.0pp below the market’s. Two numbers, side by side. How our calls have actually done is the public record, not one bout.
