FightMetric is the first-ever comprehensive mixed martial arts evaluation system. The system derives its philosophy from the very essence of MMA. The genesis of competitive mixed martial arts was to separate the fighting styles and techniques that work and discard the ones that don't. As the sport has evolved, the modern mixed martial artist may have his particular strength in one style or another, but successful fighters must master each of the truly effective striking and grappling arts.
In a similar vein, the FightMetric system is designed to focus analysis only on the techniques and situations that truly matter in ending fights. By discarding cosmetically different occurrences (like measuring punches versus kicks) in favor of those factors that actually contribute to fight endings (like measuring head strikes versus body strikes), we can arrive at a clearer picture of a fighter's performance. And with that, we can open the door to a whole new method of analyzing fights and fighters; one rooted in data and demonstrated effectiveness rather than in gut feelings and bandwagon jumping.
FightMetric is a continuous work-in-progress and we welcome your feedback at info@fightmetric.com.
