Featherweight · REAL v1.0 (registered) #39; v1.1 (shadow) #17
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 38-42: the 10th to 90th percentile of his position across weight vectors drawn near the 70/30 weights. Rating 1,673, deviation 130: measured from 14 UFC bouts; a one-bout newcomer sits near 290.
Age 35 (born 1991-02-21) · Height 5 ft 8 in (173 cm) · Reach 69 in (175 cm) · Stance Switch · 435 days since last bout (2025-08-23) · Last five 1-4 · Streak L2
Why he is ranked here
Rating 1,673 is the division's 10th highest of 94 board fighters after an inactivity penalty of 20 points for 435 days without a bout; the ledger stands at +1.2 (+3.2 from quality wins, less 2.0 for blowout losses; losses count for three years); 7 quality wins in 15 years, 5 over top-10 opponents, which makes him entrenched; form penalty 0.60 for a 1-4 last five. Score -0.02 = +0.41 (rating term, 70% weight) +0.17 (ledger term, 30% weight) -0.60 (form penalty); score order put him at #39.

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
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
Recent performances run about 105 points behind the rating: fighters this age typically run 50 points behind their rating, and his own recent results put him a further 55 points behind.

Performance relative to the rating, by age
Each dot is one decided UFC bout at his age then: the performance score minus the rating's expectation, on the score's own scale from -1 to +1 (filled = win, hollow = loss; above zero is better than the rating implied; a finish as a slight favourite is about +0.45). The dashed line is the population curve for all fighters; the solid line is this fighter's own fitted level and trend as of the data date, weighted toward recent bouts. One unit sustained over many bouts corresponds to about 695 rating points; a single bout's residual is noisy.
Held-out evidence (walk-forward 2016 to 2026, EXP-2026-10-21-01): the age curve held in every test year; the individual component is a weak signal (correlation 0.06 with the next bout's residual; among fighters aged 33 or over, the lowest predicted quartile won 38% of next bouts against 53% expected, the highest 48% against 52%) and adds nothing to bout prediction beyond the shadow model. No board uses any of it: the rankings answer who has earned the place, not who wins next (EXP-2026-10-20-09). Method: src/mmalab/decline.py; settings: config/decline.yaml (expectation from the resume rating; one unit of residual is about 695 rating points).
Context flags
Descriptive only. Each line is a population fact about fighters like him, not a forecast for him; the register entries hold the measurements.
Age band: 33 to 35 (age 35). On the board's own history (3,748 bouts between two board fighters, 2014 to 2026) the higher-scored fighter won 64% of bouts when under 30, 59% at 30 to 32, 57% at 33 to 35 and 42 to 46% at 36 and over (EXP-2026-10-20-09). A population rate, not a forecast for him.
Layoff over 12 months: 435 days since the last bout (2025-08-23).
Not raised: no KO/TKO loss in the last 90 days; 14 UFC bouts, more than the provisional limit of 3.
