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