UFC Predictor

Both fighters operate in similar style territory — Stephanie Luciano as a grappler and Marina Spasić as a balanced. The model sees Stephanie Luciano coming out ahead when stylistic tendencies clash, primarily through the decision path. With output rates of 3.2 vs 3.0 significant strikes per minute, expect this to be decided on who can establish range control and output consistency.

The composite fighter rating gives Stephanie Luciano a measurable edge (0.7 points). Recent form strongly favours Stephanie Luciano — 66.7% win rate in last 3 fights vs 0.0% for Marina Spasić. Stephanie Luciano has been finishing fights at a significantly higher rate recently (100.0% vs 45.0%), which adds weight to the finish probability. UFC experience is lopsided (4 vs 0 fights in the organisation) — octagon experience and having been in high-pressure situations before matters.

Striking output: Stephanie Luciano lands 3.2 sig. strikes/min (absorbs 3.0/min) vs Marina Spasić at 3.0/min landing and 3.0/min absorbed. Accuracy: Stephanie Luciano connects on 41.2% of attempts vs 45.0% for Marina Spasić. Defence: Stephanie Luciano avoids 64.0% of strikes thrown at them, Marina Spasić avoids 55.0%. Stephanie Luciano has the meaningfully better head movement and defensive output.

It's a coin flip on whether this ends early or goes to the cards — 36.8% finish probability, 63.2% decision. Expected duration is around 2.4 rounds out of 3. Most dangerous finish window: Round 1 finish (25.0%). Second most likely: Round 2 finish (12.5%). Full outcome breakdown: Stephanie Luciano by Decision 34.2%, Marina Spasić by Decision 27.9%, Stephanie Luciano by Submission 13.8%. Round total edges: Over 1.5: 69.2%, Under 1.5: 30.8%.

Both fighters bring comparable forward pressure (0.45 vs 0.42/1.0). Expect a high-output, contested battle where neither fighter concedes the cage voluntarily. Takedown matchup: Stephanie Luciano shoots 1.3×/15min at 56.3% accuracy, defended by Marina Spasić at 60.0%. Marina Spasić shoots 1.0×/15min at 35.0%, defended by Stephanie Luciano at 80.0%.

Commission: Nevada. This is a broadly neutral judging panel — they tend to score close to the unified rules as written, balancing effective striking, takedowns, aggression, and octagon control. Close rounds could go either way. Panel profile — wrestling scoring bias: 57%, damage emphasis: 67%, aggression weighting: 51%.

Fight-week intelligence has flagged the following: Stephanie Luciano news risk 0.08 (camp-change). These signals have been factored into the probability — treat them as soft flags rather than confirmed facts.

Stephanie Luciano is the moderate favourite at 60.2% win probability. Model confidence is 68.5%, reflecting data quality and how much margin the model actually sees. This clears the bet threshold but is not a slam dunk — the margin exists but is not overwhelming.

Both fighters operate in similar style territory — Jovan Leka as a striker and Alexander Poppeck as a striker. The model sees Jovan Leka coming out ahead when stylistic tendencies clash, primarily through the knockout or TKO path. With output rates of 1.6 vs 1.7 significant strikes per minute, expect this to be decided on who can establish range control and output consistency.

The composite fighter rating gives Jovan Leka a measurable edge (0.6 points). Recent form strongly favours Jovan Leka — 100.0% win rate in last 3 fights vs 50.0% for Alexander Poppeck. Jovan Leka has been finishing fights at a significantly higher rate recently (100.0% vs 33.3%), which adds weight to the finish probability.

Striking output: Alexander Poppeck lands 1.7 sig. strikes/min (absorbs 2.4/min) vs Jovan Leka at 1.6/min landing and 0.6/min absorbed. Accuracy: Alexander Poppeck connects on 47.0% of attempts vs 75.0% for Jovan Leka. Jovan Leka lands the cleaner shots on a per-attempt basis. Defence: Alexander Poppeck avoids 58.0% of strikes thrown at them, Jovan Leka avoids 43.0%. Alexander Poppeck has the meaningfully better head movement and defensive output.

It's a coin flip on whether this ends early or goes to the cards — 53.9% finish probability, 46.1% decision. Expected duration is around 1.8 rounds out of 3. Both fighters start explosively and have a history of early finishes — the opening rounds will be the most dangerous. Most dangerous finish window: Round 1 finish (37.7%). Second most likely: Round 2 finish (18.9%). Full outcome breakdown: Jovan Leka by KO/TKO 32.4%, Jovan Leka by Decision 20.8%, Alexander Poppeck by Decision 17.0%.

Both fighters bring comparable forward pressure (0.40 vs 0.31/1.0). Expect a high-output, contested battle where neither fighter concedes the cage voluntarily.

Alexander Poppeck takes opponents down frequently and Jovan Leka's defence is below average — expect multiple takedown exchanges. Stall risk — Alexander Poppeck: high takedown volume (1.7×/15min) but finishes only 66.7% of wins. Meaningful risk of holding the cage and grinding rather than going for the finish. Judges penalise stalling — this could cost rounds on the cards.

Tape adjustment: Milos Janicic's probability was boosted by 2.4pp based on style-specific record, durability differential, and pace clash analysis.

Commission: Nevada. This is a broadly neutral judging panel — they tend to score close to the unified rules as written, balancing effective striking, takedowns, aggression, and octagon control. Close rounds could go either way. Panel profile — wrestling scoring bias: 57%, damage emphasis: 67%, aggression weighting: 51%.

Fight-week intelligence has flagged the following: Milos Janicic news risk 0.48 (injury, camp-change); Noah Gugnon news risk 0.38 (injury, camp-change). These signals have been factored into the probability — treat them as soft flags rather than confirmed facts.

Noah Gugnon is the moderate favourite at 63.0% win probability. Model confidence is 65.6%, reflecting data quality and how much margin the model actually sees. This clears the bet threshold but is not a slam dunk — the margin exists but is not overwhelming. Key factors driving this pick: tape analysis moved the needle 2.4pp against the favourite.

Both fighters operate in similar style territory — Gilbert Urbina as a grappler and Vlasto Čepo as a balanced. The model sees Gilbert Urbina coming out ahead when stylistic tendencies clash, primarily through the decision path. With output rates of 3.4 vs 3.0 significant strikes per minute, expect this to be decided on who can establish range control and output consistency.

The composite fighter rating gives Gilbert Urbina a measurable edge (0.7 points). Recent form strongly favours Gilbert Urbina — 33.3% win rate in last 3 fights vs 0.0% for Vlasto Čepo. Gilbert Urbina has been finishing fights at a significantly higher rate recently (100.0% vs 45.0%), which adds weight to the finish probability. UFC experience is lopsided (5 vs 0 fights in the organisation) — octagon experience and having been in high-pressure situations before matters.

Striking output: Gilbert Urbina lands 3.4 sig. strikes/min (absorbs 4.6/min) vs Vlasto Čepo at 3.0/min landing and 3.0/min absorbed. Accuracy: Gilbert Urbina connects on 53.7% of attempts vs 45.0% for Vlasto Čepo. Gilbert Urbina is noticeably more precise — landing a higher proportion of what they throw. Defence: Gilbert Urbina avoids 44.0% of strikes thrown at them, Vlasto Čepo avoids 55.0%. Vlasto Čepo has the meaningfully better head movement and defensive output.

It's a coin flip on whether this ends early or goes to the cards — 49.0% finish probability, 51.0% decision. Expected duration is around 2.2 rounds out of 3. Most dangerous finish window: Round 1 finish (32.2%). Second most likely: Round 2 finish (16.1%). Full outcome breakdown: Gilbert Urbina by Decision 28.4%, Vlasto Čepo by Decision 20.6%, Gilbert Urbina by KO/TKO 15.9%.

Gilbert Urbina is the more aggressive pressure fighter (score 0.55 vs 0.42/1.0). They cut off the cage, stay in their opponent's face, and force Vlasto Čepo to constantly reset position. Sustained forward pressure shapes judge scoring — active fighters who push the pace tend to get the benefit of the doubt in close rounds. Takedown matchup: Gilbert Urbina shoots 2.9×/15min at 38.7% accuracy, defended by Vlasto Čepo at 60.0%. Vlasto Čepo shoots 1.0×/15min at 35.0%, defended by Gilbert Urbina at 0.0%. Gilbert Urbina takes opponents down frequently and Vlasto Čepo's defence is below average — expect multiple takedown exchanges. Stall risk — Gilbert Urbina: high takedown volume (2.9×/15min) but finishes only 62.5% of wins. Meaningful risk of holding the cage and grinding rather than going for the finish. Judges penalise stalling — this could cost rounds on the cards.

Gilbert Urbina is the moderate favourite at 60.7% win probability. Model confidence is 66.2%, reflecting data quality and how much margin the model actually sees. This clears the bet threshold but is not a slam dunk — the margin exists but is not overwhelming. Key factors driving this pick: pressure advantage goes to Gilbert Urbina.

Both fighters operate in similar style territory — Robert Valentin as a grappler and Duško Todorović as a balanced. The model sees Robert Valentin coming out ahead when stylistic tendencies clash, primarily through the submission path. With output rates of 0.9 vs 3.0 significant strikes per minute, expect this to be decided on who can establish range control and output consistency.

The composite fighter rating gap is significant in Robert Valentin's favour (1.1 points). Recent form strongly favours Robert Valentin — 33.3% win rate in last 3 fights vs 0.0% for Duško Todorović. Robert Valentin has been finishing fights at a significantly higher rate recently (100.0% vs 45.0%), which adds weight to the finish probability. UFC experience is lopsided (4 vs 0 fights in the organisation) — octagon experience and having been in high-pressure situations before matters.

Striking output: Duško Todorović lands 3.0 sig. strikes/min (absorbs 3.0/min) vs Robert Valentin at 0.9/min landing and 2.7/min absorbed. Duško Todorović has a clear volume advantage — more output means more chances to land something significant. Accuracy: Duško Todorović connects on 45.0% of attempts vs 52.7% for Robert Valentin. Defence: Duško Todorović avoids 55.0% of strikes thrown at them, Robert Valentin avoids 33.0%. Duško Todorović has the meaningfully better head movement and defensive output.

It's a coin flip on whether this ends early or goes to the cards — 55.9% finish probability, 44.1% decision. Expected duration is around 2.0 rounds out of 3. Most dangerous finish window: Round 1 finish (38.6%). Second most likely: Round 2 finish (19.3%). Full outcome breakdown: Robert Valentin by Submission 29.0%, Duško Todorović by Decision 19.3%, Robert Valentin by Decision 16.7%.

Duško Todorović is the more aggressive pressure fighter (score 0.42 vs 0.29/1.0). They cut off the cage, stay in their opponent's face, and force Robert Valentin to constantly reset position. Sustained forward pressure shapes judge scoring — active fighters who push the pace tend to get the benefit of the doubt in close rounds. Takedown matchup: Duško Todorović shoots 1.0×/15min at 35.0% accuracy, defended by Robert Valentin at 55.0%. Robert Valentin shoots 0.6×/15min at 41.7%, defended by Duško Todorović at 60.0%.

Both fighters operate in similar style territory — Aleksandar Rakic as a striker and Marcin Tybura as a striker. The model sees Aleksandar Rakic coming out ahead when stylistic tendencies clash, primarily through the decision path. With output rates of 2.6 vs 2.2 significant strikes per minute, expect this to be decided on who can establish range control and output consistency.

Recent form is actually a concern — Marcin Tybura is 33.3% in their last 3 fights, but the model still favours Aleksandar Rakic on the overall career profile. UFC experience is lopsided (12 vs 24 fights in the organisation) — octagon experience and having been in high-pressure situations before matters.

Striking output: Marcin Tybura lands 2.2 sig. strikes/min (absorbs 3.3/min) vs Aleksandar Rakic at 2.6/min landing and 2.9/min absorbed. Accuracy: Marcin Tybura connects on 44.8% of attempts vs 52.0% for Aleksandar Rakic. Defence: Marcin Tybura avoids 55.0% of strikes thrown at them, Aleksandar Rakic avoids 51.0%.

It's a coin flip on whether this ends early or goes to the cards — 41.4% finish probability, 58.6% decision. Expected duration is around 2.2 rounds out of 3. Both fighters start explosively and have a history of early finishes — the opening rounds will be the most dangerous. Most dangerous finish window: Round 1 finish (22.9%). Second most likely: Round 2 finish (11.4%). Full outcome breakdown: Aleksandar Rakic by Decision 37.4%, Marcin Tybura by Decision 28.2%, Aleksandar Rakic by KO/TKO 15.9%. Round total edges: Over 1.5: 66.1%, Under 1.5: 33.9%.

Both fighters bring comparable forward pressure (0.42 vs 0.47/1.0). Expect a high-output, contested battle where neither fighter concedes the cage voluntarily. Takedown matchup: Marcin Tybura shoots 1.3×/15min at 24.8% accuracy, defended by Aleksandar Rakic at 85.0%. Aleksandar Rakic shoots 0.6×/15min at 21.0%, defended by Marcin Tybura at 70.0%. Stall risk — Marcin Tybura: high takedown volume (1.3×/15min) but finishes only 42.9% of wins. Meaningful risk of holding the cage and grinding rather than going for the finish. Judges penalise stalling — this could cost rounds on the cards. Stall risk — Aleksandar Rakic: takes opponents down at 0.6×/15min but converts only 33.3% into finishes. Watch for prolonged top-position control without active damage — judges may not reward this.
