Frequently Asked Questions

Who wins Farid Basharat vs John Garza?

Blueprint MMA's War Room Committee picks Farid Basharat with a 55% win probability.

What could change the outcome of Farid Basharat vs John Garza?

Basharat's takedown inefficiency: Repeated failed shots against a mobile opponent burn energy and open counter windows; the committee notes his completion rate has cratered. Garza's four-day notice weight cut: Severe dehydration risk and no camp cardio baseline could cause sudden output collapse if the fight extends. Null grappling defense data: Garza's defensive wrestling is completely unmeasured; he could either stuff everything or fold on first contact.

How does Blueprint MMA make this prediction?

Blueprint MMA validates the fight data, builds a freshness-gated evidence pack, and runs it through a Kimi K2/LangGraph War Room Committee, one specialist agent per high-signal factor, 18 in all across 8 weighted categories, with the noise given zero weight. The weighted reads are reconciled, calibrated against settled outcomes, held to a sane 5-95% range, and logged before release; market data is displayed for comparison, not blended into the prediction. If the committee cannot return a valid read, the forecast is held. Methodology is documented at https://blueprintmma.com/manifesto and accuracy is tracked publicly at https://blueprintmma.com/track-record.
