In a new post over at Cage Potato, I take a look at Fightmetric, a system for analyzing and comparing the effectiveness of MMA fighters.  Results are…inconclusive.

That’s not true.  I think Fightmetric is kind of stupid, but in the way where I still have to give them credit for trying something new.  Like those Bob Dylan albums when he was a born-again Christian.  Those were terrible, but if he hadn’t tried it we’d never know just how much we didn’t need them.

Unfortunately for Fightmetric, they don’t have Dylan’s street cred, so they take a little more of a hit in this article.

All the same, if you’re wondering how the math works out in this Saturday’s GSP vs. Serra title fight, the nerds at Fightmetric have crunched the numbers and figured out, well, nothing really.  That’s why we have the fights.
