Breakdown

Jim Miller and Terrance McKinney are close to opposites in pace. McKinney throws at more than double Miller's rate, landing 6.54 significant strikes a minute to Miller's 2.93, with 55% accuracy and 0.99 knockdowns per 15 minutes. He also absorbs a lot (4.32 a minute, only 44% defence) and has been knocked out four times. Miller is the patient veteran with 46 UFC fights, a 43% finish rate and 1.68 submission attempts per 15 minutes, though he has been submitted three times. McKinney also wrestles more, with 2.52 takedowns per 15 minutes and 69% takedown defence against Miller's 49%. McKinney has the 2-inch height and reach edge.

Our model favours McKinney at 60%, mainly because of his output gap, his better takedown defence and the age difference of 43.2 versus 32.2. Miller's Elo of 1616 is higher than McKinney's 1532, which is why this is not more lopsided. The market is at 70%, 10 points more confident than we are. The model may underweight how age and Miller's 189-day layoff affect a 43-year-old, and it can't see camp or recent news.

Key question: Can Miller survive McKinney's early pressure long enough to drag him into a grappling fight?
