The ability to develop and test theories using data is central to the development of foundational theories in any field.

Does age affect how a fighter wins? Is there a hometown advantage? Do fighters' pre-fight rituals affect the way fights end? Do southpaw fighters have an advantage over their orthodox opponents? How does a fighter's weight affect the types of injuries experienced in a fight? Are fighters from certain countries better than others? How accurately can fight outcomes be predicted? Utilizing a scientific approach, the book tests common theories about what drives success in mixed martial arts combat.
