  • Data-Driven Analysis of Winning Martial Arts Styles
    Mixed Membership Martial Arts: Data-Driven Analysis of Winning Martial Arts Styles Other Sports Paper ID: 1575 Sean R. Hackett and John D. Storey Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA Abstract A major analytics challenge in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is understanding the differences between fighters that are essential for both establishing matchups and facilitating fan understanding. Here, we model ~18,000 fighters as mixtures of 10 data-defined prototypical martial arts styles, each with characteristic ways of winning. By balancing fighter-level data with broader trends in MMA, fighter behavior can be predicted even for inexperienced fighters. Beyond providing an informative summary of a fighter's style, it is also the case that style is a major determinant of success in MMA. This is reflected by the fact that champions of the sport conform to a narrow subset of successful styles. 1. Introduction Early events in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) were touted as a chance to determine which styles of pure martial arts were most effective for defeating an opponent [1, 2]. These events, epitomized by the mid-1990s events of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Vale Tudo, featured matchups of stylistically diverse martial artists representing sports such as Boxing, Judo and Karate [1, 3]. As the sport of MMA has evolved, fighters have become increasingly well-rounded [1, 2]. Modern MMA fighters need to be effective strikers who dictate where the fight occurs, either by taking down their opponents or forcing them to fight standing. Each MMA fighter’s skills are drawn from a mix of multiple pure martial arts that define his/her personalized fighting style.
