It's in use in Militaries and Corporations.

How will it be best implemented in MMA?

Coaches and fighters interfacing with AI system together and use it as a reference across the spectrum of fight preparation?

AI rapidly becoming more sophisticated.
 
UFC Artificial Intelligence Performance Institute!

Many athletes are using Smart Systems to track their sleep, inactivity, health trackers, activity to include levels of physical stress during training, illness, cycles, brain function, etc, etc.

Add in AI guided nutrition that will help build the body along with conditioning and rest to create better fighters.

All linked together in an AI System to optimize a fighter's preparation for competition.

The future looks awesome!




I don't know where Forrest fits in to this brave new world...
 
As much as supplement providers and "coaching system" providers try to convince potential customers of the contrary, fighters are not machines and it is highly unlikely any of this crap will provide a substantial improvement in the octagon.

In fact, I would wager that fighters overthinking these minute details would likely be a distraction that negatively impacts their mental state before performing. MMA is not a team sport with dozens of moving parts and endless rules that need to be strategized for ad nauseam.

One strike can change the outcome of a fight and this is something that could never be captured by an artificial machine. As Mike Tyson famously said, "everyone has a gameplan until they get punched in the mouth". Training skills, not stats, is the way to be successful. This will not change... just the amount of people wasting their money will eventually increase

Fuck MMA, someone should ask it about the damn "drones" around the world. 😊

Athletes are already using advanced smart systems to include wearables in training and competition. It's no longer just a heart rate strap or being hooked up to gadgets on a treadmill in a Lab.

AI is going to be advanced further to tie in all these inputs in order to orchestrate the athlete's training and competition lifestyle to maximize performance for competitive events.

Olympic Centers used to lead the way with mostly human analysis -- but that will be increasingly shifted to AI.

It's already happening in the military snd corporate world.

It is an unstoppable dynamic -- as athletes seek every advantage to stay competitive.

It's always some kind of f*ckery going on with government and their distractions.

But in case the world doesn't end tomorrow with a space alien invasion, dirty bomb, nuke, drone swarm -- I still gotta go train, get ready for a running/hiking event, decide what Vegas buffet to sample, shoot, plan a saltwater fishing trip in Cabo or the Keys...

Life goes on -- and hopefully with a Jones v. Aspinall Fight.

But yeah, them Drones...

MMA is not a controlled environment like a timed race in the Olympics where athletes have no ability to influence each other's performance thus making training advantages more significant. How often do you really see a high level MMA fighter just blatantly gas out causing them to lose a fight in modern day?

Fighters already train countless hours of technique and physical/mental conditioning as it is only to get stopped in seconds by a single strike. In strategic environments like the corporate world and the military, it makes sense to invest in AI... neither of these are at all comparable to an MMA fight. All of the preparation in the world can go into training for a fight but as fights don't exist on paper, unexpected things will always happen. Matt Serra can beat GSP despite having no advantage of any kind. Uriah Hall can KO Mousasi.

Training can only do so much in an uncontrolled environment where a "99.9999% likelihood of winning" can be 0% in a second. That will never change no matter how much money is spent

My wife's running coach had a change of career recently, and because all of her data has been logged for years with her Garmin watch, she is now using a Garmin AI app to coach her for her next marathon - it's going pretty good.

I know that it's not MMA related, but very interesting to see it in real life.

No.

Your mind is of limited scope.

To actually think this hinges on an Olympic timed event vs a cage-fight is just too stupid to take seriously...

You should just get some Legos and go play quietly somewhere else...

LOL great response bud. Sorry not everyone is getting behind lazy blanket statements like "OMG guyz, AI is changing the world. It will obviously change MMA too even though I provided zero evidence of this and sound like a 40 year old man repeating teenage slang to try and look cool." Have any crypto tips you saw on a high school kid's instagram while you're at it? GTFO of here with your buzz word BS.

You are a fraud.

Your fake argument about the Olympics limited reference to timed events shows the fraud of your argument -- as the Olympics have many different forms of competition that are similar to MMA.

MMA is not that complex -- and AI will increasingly bring more clarity to the inefficiencies of the human experience in almost every endeavor.

AI is being used in sports -- and more advanced forms will treat all forms of human combative activities as child's play.
 
Fighters will have Neurolink chips embedded in their skulls. Ai will send algorithmic fight instructions to each fighter maximizing their potential. In fact pushing them beyond their human capabilities. Fights will be determined how their skeletal structures hold up in various combat scenarios.
 
Sports will try to guard the human player from being outperformed -- but outperformed the human will be.

Several Paths are set.

1. "Sentient" Machine is being prepared for rollout. A few more decades and the exponential advancements will be mind blowing -- if Mankind doesn't destroy itself...

2. Modern Hybrid Man.

a. It will be part human and part machine driven by military and industrial purpose -- neural link and advanced prosthetics are already in play. They will work into the fabric of human activity to extend mankind's performance on the battlefield, search and rescue, logistics both civilian and military, transportation, medical treatment, civilian everyday lives, etc. etc. etc.

b. Neural Link and Like Technologies -- grant machine access to the Brain and vice versa. That unlocks the future of AI Learning and Programming in the human -- whilst it also enhances performances by Attachments of superior materials and superior mechanisms. It is still early -- not the final chapter.

c. Man must still prepare the Organic Man -- that will likely be considered by engineers as the weak link, especially as the mechanical and AI aspects become even more refined.

All things mentioned are not sketches of the future -- they are NOW, but they will continue their evolution.

Never is a really long time, and we've said that about plenty of things in the past. I think at this point the advantages are probably minimal because there just hasn't been enough relevant information mined yet. The possibility of a fight-ending strike would obviously be included in the possibilities of a.i. computation, considering it's within the context of a striking-based combat sports. Nobody here is claiming some rudimentary AI-assisted coaching is going suddenly make someone invincible.
