Frequently Asked Questions

Who won Karol Rosa vs Luana Santos?

Luana Santos won. Blueprint MMA's pre-fight pick was Karol Rosa.

Who wins Karol Rosa vs Luana Santos?

Blueprint MMA's War Room Committee picks Karol Rosa with a 51% win probability.

What could change the outcome of Karol Rosa vs Luana Santos?

Extended clinch stalemates: If Santos cannot complete takedowns but pins Rosa against the fence, Rosa's volume advantage evaporates and judges may reward control over negligible damage. Late-round cardio divergence: Rosa's longer layoff and age gap raise questions about sustained output; if her pace drops, Santos' rising control trend becomes decisive. Submission threat without position: Santos has five submission wins but Rosa has never been stopped by submission; chasing finishes from disadvantageous positions risks top-control time for Rosa.

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.
