Anthony Romero

Featherweight · REAL v1.0 (registered) #54; v1.1 (shadow) #48

Descriptive profile. The resume rank is what has been earned; these statistics are context, not a prediction. A test on Oct 20, 2026 found that career statistics add nothing reliable to age, layoff and experience as predictors of the next result (experiments/REGISTER.md, EXP-2026-10-20-14).

Weight band 52-56: the 10th to 90th percentile of his position across weight vectors drawn near the 70/30 weights. Rating 1,486, deviation 268: measured from 1 UFC bout; a one-bout newcomer sits near 290. Provisional: 1 UFC bout; the rating rests on little evidence.

Age unknown · Height 5 ft 5 in (165 cm) · Reach 66 in (168 cm) · Stance Southpaw · 29 days since last bout (2026-10-03) · Last five 0-1 · Streak L1

Opp. official rank = the UFC media-panel rank of the opponent on the date (C champion, #1 to #15, unranked; n/a before Feb 2013 or where no official board existed). Model p = the predictive model's pre-fight win chance for him (frozen performance-adjusted Elo; bouts before 2020 were in its tuning sample). Linked opponents have a profile.

Predictive rating by bout

1,4501,500Oct 2026Nov 20262026-10-03: 1,462 (L vs Marcus McGhee)1,462

Rating after each UFC bout from the frozen predictive model (performance-adjusted Elo, data/processed/elo_history.csv; a debut starts at 1,500). The resume rating's history is not stored, so this is the predictive line, which is a different number from the resume rating in the header.

Trajectory

No trajectory index: it needs three decided UFC bouts and a bout within the last three years (config/decline.yaml).
