Research Abstract

"This study proposes a recurrent neural network prediction model based on Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) that leverages athlete portraits and multidimensional characteristics for performance and winning percentage prediction in the UFC."

Methodology & Cells

Unlike static feed-forward networks, BiLSTM captures temporal dependencies in sequential career trajectories. Forward passes track career progression & finish momentum; backward passes compute retrospective fatigue, damage decay, and late-round durability.

Comparative Findings

Achieved an overall accuracy of 0.7524, significantly outperforming classical Linear Regression, standard Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP), and isolated heuristic rulesets across verified professional bout histories.
