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. Where a fighter was born and where they fight out of come from their Wikipedia entry; where we hold neither, the hometown shown is Sherdog’s. 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.

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.

Javad Mahjoub vs Joel Faglier — implied win chance over timeLine chart. Market-implied win chance for Javad Mahjoub and Joel Faglier from Oct 11 to Oct 17, drawn from Polymarket and the sportsbook consensus. Javad Mahjoub moves from 51% to 46% and Joel Faglier from 49% to 55%. A gold marker shows where our pick was frozen.40%45%50%55%60%Oct 11Oct 13Oct 14Oct 16Oct 17▲ our call: Joel Faglier46%55%

From the open the market drifted toward our pick: Joel Faglier's implied chance moved up from 49% to 55% (+5.5pp).

This series stops at Oct 17 22:41Z — the point at which this bout’s own market began the move that ended in settlement. 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 Joel Faglier at 54.4%. At the last price we captured before this bout’s market began to settle, the de-vigged market had the same fighter at 54.5% — our number sat 0.1pp below the market’s. Two numbers, side by side. How our calls have actually done is the public record, not one bout.
