Fighting with Numbers: UFC Betting Through An Analytical Lens

UFC Freedom 250 | White House Bets | FWN Ep. 45

robert15moreno@gmail.com (Rob Moreno) — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 02:06:54 +0000

The UFC takes it outside — literally — as the promotion sets up on the lawn of the White House for a card with two title fights and genuine history on the line. Rob breaks down fights through the model, including a heavyweight title fight where the model says one thing and the heart says another, and a lightweight main event where the undefeated El Matador looks to add another legend to his list. The outdoor environment, the crowd, the weather — this one comes with unknowns that no model can fully account for. That's what makes it must-watch television.

UFC Macau: Song vs Figueiredo | Betting Predictions | FWN Ep. 43

robert15moreno@gmail.com (Rob Moreno) — Tue, 26 May 2026 23:23:48 +0000

The UFC is back from a week off and so is Fighting With Numbers. This week the promotion heads to Macau for an early morning card — 4AM Eastern for those of us stateside. Rob breaks down two fights through the model, including a light heavyweight matchup where the numbers are lopsided enough to hunt props over the moneyline, and a main event featuring a former two-time flyweight champion whose decline is written all over the data. Short pod, clear model sides, and a prop market worth paying attention to before fight night.

robert15moreno@gmail.com (Rob Moreno) — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:55:33 +0000

UFC heads to Winnipeg this week for a lean card — but before diving into the fights, Rob pulls back the curtain on how the Fighting With Numbers model actually works. What is xR%?

Official model bets: Piera Rodriguez, Eryk Anders (live dog), and Gillian Robertson. Plus, why laying -590 on anyone is almost always a mistake — and where the actual value lives in the Emmett/Vallejos main event if you're looking for action. Model sits at 22-10 on the year.

UFC Mexico Betting Preview: Moreno vs Kavanagh | Fighting With Numbers

robert15moreno@gmail.com (Rob Moreno) — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The model stays hot after a 5–1 week, moving to 20–5 (80%) on the year, but UFC Mexico might be one of the lightest betting cards we’ve seen all season.

In this episode of Fighting With Numbers, we break down four key fights from UFC Mexico, headlined by Brandon Moreno vs Lone’er Kavanagh, and explain why discipline matters more than ever on thin-value cards.

We dive into:

Cristian Quiñonez vs Kris Moutinho (and why the data is distorted)
Ailín Pérez vs Macy Chiasson (tight numbers, low confidence)
Daniel Zellhuber vs King Green (a shocking spot?)
Brandon Moreno vs Lone’er Kavanagh (main event caution flag)

This week’s theme: protect the bankroll, don’t force action, and let the edges come to you.

As always, the breakdowns are built around xR%, striking differentials, grappling control, and real matchup context — not hype.
