Jim Miller vs Jared Gordon, UFC 328: Chimaev vs. Strickland prediction and deep analysis
Jim Miller/Jared Gordon
lightweightWinner Committee
Thirty-three specialists answer distinct winner-only questions. Eligible evidence is renormalized only inside its original lane.
Fight-State Projection
These are distributions of eligible committee signal mass—not invented percentages of fight time.
Conditional Method Model
Each row is conditional on that fighter already winning; every fighter row sums to 100%.
Conditional Round Model
Round-event mass is derived from survival-conditioned hazards. The final scheduled round is absorbing.
Probability Reconciliation
The exact-outcome grid preserves both winner marginals and sums to 100%. Decision branches have no round.
Output Selection
The winner and every outcome label come from one immutable reconciled distribution. Oversight may widen uncertainty, never move the point forecast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who wins Jim Miller vs Jared Gordon?
Blueprint MMA's War Room Committee picks Jared Gordon with a 55% win probability.
What could change the outcome of Jim Miller vs Jared Gordon?
Miller's layoff and age cliff: 392 days off at 42 against a younger, more recently active pressure striker can collapse the cardio Miller needs to survive into his finish windows. Gordon's chin question: Gordon's most recent appearance was a third-round knockout loss to Rafa Garcia; if Miller lands clean on the southpaw counter, the stoppage column flips. Top-control over-commitment: If Gordon takes Miller down and tries to finish from top, he walks into the exact submission rate Miller has built a career on.
How does Blueprint MMA make this prediction?
Blueprint MMA validates and freezes the fight data, then runs 68 Kimi K2.6 agent executions: 33 Winner, 10 Method, 20 Timing, and 5 non-voting Oversight. Kimi K2.6 is the only inference model; LangGraph only orchestrates stage order and state. Winner agents fix the point probability first, Method and Timing agents fill conditional branches without reopening it, and Oversight audits without voting. The public probability is held to a sane 5-95% range and logged before release. Published winner probabilities are AI-only. Market prices may be shown for benchmarking, CLV, and workflow context, but they do not select, rank, or alter the published forecast. If the direct pipeline cannot return a valid read, the forecast is held.
