Yair technically has a 50% chance beating Volk

[xhaydenx]

The people who think any binary choice is a 50/50 drive me up the fucking wall.
Go jump off a skyscraper. You'll either live or die, so it must be 50/50.

I was only joking around when I said that haha.

My parents used to tell me the same thing and it drove me crazy. Trying to tell me my UFC bets have a 50% chance like there's no other factors involved lol.

thx.

really tho it was "The motorcycle that took out Frank Mir was more active than Yair" was a strange thing to say

even if he was taken out by a motorcycle, strange thing to throw in there

stranger still tho, because Mir was taken out by a car, while on a motorcycle. Not taken out by a motorcycle.

Anyways. It's Sherdog. So

Oh got it, it was the motorcycle part that you thought was strange, valid point. I was just responding to the sentiment that Yair would be extremely inactive.

Interim Champions are 7-7 in unification matches

The 7 interim champions that walked out undisputed are


Brandon Moreno


Israel Adesanya


Max Holloway


Conor McGregor


Fabrício Werdum


GSP


Randy Couture



The Numbers don’t lie


Side notes

Interim Featherweight champions are 2-0 in unification matches, and of course this doesn’t mean that Yair will necessarily win on Saturday. And I would have included Jones but his second fight was overturned.

Volkanovsik is 7/7 from FW title fights. Does this mean Yair has a 0% chance? Or do you even it out with your interim stat and give him 25% chance?

If so you can add Volk is 100% when headline act of a UFC card at FW. Volk is also undefeated in July for entire career. How do they add into this? Also 100% of the time when Volk loses he wins the next fight.

Some interim champ don't even fight the champ or fight for the belt.


Also sometimes the interim is created because the champ is injured and inactive not just to sell a card like with Volk.

 

[Masturbin]

Also you forgot the best interim champ of all times by far.

Jon Jones

He got the interim belt after beating Osp

[Mga223]

Why the fuck was Yair vs Emmett for an interim belt again?

If volk won against Islam I'm guessing ufc thought he might move up permanently?

 

[HoelHomero]

I'd say he loses until he wins

Yair fought Max Close Volk dominated Max twice.

It's 2023 and people are still using mma math. Expected better from a 2016 account

Styles make fights. Just because fighter A lost to fighter B and fighter C beat fighter B doesn't mean fighter C beats fighter A

Idk about all that, but I can tell you one thing for sure. Someone is getting their hand raised on Saturday night. Take that to the bank…

Unless it’s a draw of course…
