Stay Tuned

Apologies for the lack of updates around here. Within the next few days we will be releasing a brand new report format that should be a major improvement. It will have a different look, but more importantly, it will be more automated and quicker to create. It will also be suitable for any fight, not just ones that go to a decision. All of that means that we’ll be able to create reports for more fights, providing more stats for you.

Volunteers…Again, But Better this Time

Our last call for volunteers went so well, we’re doing it again for a different idea. Those who participate will have the chance to play with a new, one-of-a-kind feature we’re working on. This is something that serious MMA fans will truly love. We’re looking for at least eight volunteers, but we can accomodate more if interest is high.

The last opportunity only asked for ten minutes of your time, but this one is more substantial. We’re asking for about 30 minutes of your time (no, you won’t be scoring fights), but in return you have the chance to win some cash and prizes.

UPDATED: Thanks to all those who volunteered.

BJ Penn is Ridiculous

During his banishment from the UFC, BJ Penn was something of a ronin, taking fights where he could face interesting opponents no matter the weight class. Of all of these fights, none is more impressive than Penn, a legitimate lightweight, taking on Lyoto Machida, a legitimate light heavyweight. That’s a 50 pound differential.

What’s probably most impressive is how well Penn did against not just any larger opponent, but a top-tier 205-pounder. Machida took the unanimous decision and is still undefeated two years later.

The FightMetric report on the fight between Penn and Machida shows just how well Penn did. For starters, Penn got cracked by several huge shots in the clinch…and was completely unfazed. Though wild with his stand-up striking, he landed more HiPer Strikes than Machida.

Using the ten-point must system, FightMetric gives the fight to Penn 29-28. Overall, the effectiveness scores favor Machida 185-183, which is within FightMetric’s margin of error. That means Penn effectively got a draw against one of the top five light heavyweights in the world. And when you think about it, that’s pretty ridiculous.

This report also marks the debut of our new report format. What you’ll be seeing in the future is the ability to house complete stats for multiple fights in a single presentation. Currently, only our TPR Reports have the ability to display limited stats for several fights at once. Take a look, give it a test-run and if you have any comments, feel free to send them to us at [email protected].
