Kyoji Horiguchi/Manel Kape
FlyweightWinner 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

Output Selection
The winner and every outcome label come from one immutable reconciled distribution. Oversight may widen uncertainty, never move the point forecast.

What could change the outcome of Kyoji Horiguchi vs Manel Kape?
Counter-wrestling knockouts: Horiguchi's takedown entries must overcome Kape's power-striker counter-threat; reactive shots risk walking into knockout windows if timing is off. The committee notes this as the central tension in the grappling-striking interface. Late-round cardio collapse: Kape's minimal grappling footprint and high finish dependency create uncertainty if the fight extends; Horiguchi's path relies on sustained output across five rounds. Stance-range nullification: If Horiguchi neutralizes open-side angles through footwork discipline, Kape's reach and southpaw advantages may not materialize, forcing a pocket fight where volume favors the veteran.
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.
