UFC 308 Previews

The UFC 308 card features thirteen bouts, all of which will be previewed in this post. The card will be headlined by a bout for the featherweight championship. Champion Ilia Topuria (pictured top left) will take on former champion and reigning BMF title holder Max Holloway (pictured top right). The co-main event will see former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker (pictured bottom left) take on rising Chechen contender, Khamzat Chimaev.

All win probabilities are based off of a fighter’s Cage Calculus (CC) Rating and their place in the CC Rankings. The fighter’s name highlighted in green at the bottom of the panel indicates the editor’s pick to win. Also featured below their record and rating is their divisional rankings in the CC Rankings and the official UFC Rankings. Any fighter falling outside of the top 15 of their respective division is classified as NR (not ranked).

Also displayed to the right of their rankings is a fighter’s CCz Score. A positive CCz Score indicates a fighter is above average for their weight class. A negative one indicates they are below average. The higher the number is, the farther away from average a fighter is (in either direction). CCz Scores typically range from as high as positive 4, to as low as negative 2.5.

Without further ado, here is the Cage Calculus tale of the tape for this week’s fights!
