Note: (Yes, I know it's a subjective scoring system)
I wanted to quantify what makes a UFC fight truly entertaining — so I built a weighted scoring model using 5 key metrics: Pace, Drama, Balance, Striking vs Grappling, Stare (“Can’t-look-away” moments)
Each fight is rated 1–10 across these criteria, then combined using weighted averages and short-fight duration caps.
I posted the score I gave the fight, then what the model scored the fight.
Would love feedback — what other metrics would you include to measure fight entertainment?

Couture vs Sylvia is probably my favourite. You should add some classics like that.
