Method of Victory Calculator

What the headline measures

Method of Victory Calculator is designed to allocate a fighter win probability across knockout, submission, and decision. Under the entered assumptions, a market comparison still requires an available price for the identical selection and period.

Scheduled rounds, pace, durability, style interaction, weight class, and finishing history define the bout.

Information outside the formula

Method and round outcomes are dependent parts of the same fight.

For this market, a difficult weight cut, replacement opponent, or round-format change warrants a new calculation.

For the saved case, weigh-in information, reach, pace, style matchup, recent activity, and judging format should refer to the scheduled bout.

How to source the fields

Knockout weight is a separate input defined as relative knockout likelihood.

Submission weight is a separate input defined as relative submission likelihood.

For knockout-win probability, Decision weight represents relative decision likelihood.

Fighter win probability is a separate input defined as overall chance the selected fighter wins.

When a source gives a wide range, preserve separate cases.

The Control Time Prop is useful only if that separate output affects the decision.

How the formula works

Formula: method probability = win probability × method weight ÷ total method weights.

Expected opportunities and a per-opportunity rate define the event process.

The distribution adds qualifying outcomes needed to reach the threshold.

At this stage, no live price, rating, or result is inferred.

A cautious second case

• Change Knockout weight while leaving the rate fixed.
• For this comparison, test the rate in its own case if that source is uncertain.
• Rare-event estimates need an explicit check of rate stability and independence.

Moving to takedowns prop changes scope. Open the Takedowns Prop.

Example calculation

For the selected event, the worked values provide a repeatable test after a formula change.

Begin with Knockout weight at its loaded example value and keep the other displayed defaults.

Method: method probability = win probability × method weight ÷ total method weights.

In this model, a mismatch usually indicates a unit, percentage, odds-format, or rounding issue.

Using the result cautiously

Probability of at least one event differs from expected count.

The distribution connects those quantities.

For this comparison, the answer is most useful as a baseline that can be updated.

• Method weights are user assumptions and must sum through normalization.
• As a practical check, verify scheduled rounds, no-contest treatment, method definitions, and the official-result policy.
• As a practical check, correlation, selection bias, and small samples can remain when every field has a source.

Do not force combat sports value into an unrelated field. The Combat Sports Value provides its method.

Recording sources and timing

Store knockout-win probability with event, selection, compared line, time, and source for Knockout weight.

Record whether each Method of Victory entry was observed, quoted, modeled, or assumed.

For this comparison, keep source revisions and market moves as different update reasons.
