If A beat B and B beat C…

MMA Math

The internet's favourite bad argument, turned into a tool. Pick two fighters and watch a chain of real wins “prove” one beats the other — then watch reality kick the logic in the teeth.

If A beat B and B beat C…
beats?

MMA math proves Dustin Poirier beats Conor McGregor:

  1. 1Dustin PoirierbeatConor McGregor

∴ Dustin Poirier beats Conor McGregor. QED. 🤝

Except… Conor McGregor has actually beaten Dustin Poirier in the cage. MMA math remains gloriously, undefeatedly broken.

Chains use real UFC results — the contradictions are the joke

Why MMA math never works

Every fan has done it: “He beat the guy who beat the champ, so he'd beat the champ.” That's MMA math— and it's almost always wrong. Styles make fights, a single bad night flips a result, and the sport is gloriously non-transitive. Conor McGregor beat Dustin Poirier… who then beat Conor McGregor. Twice the chain, zero the logic.

Build your own chain

This tool searches a graph of real UFC results to find the shortest path of wins between any two fighters, then lays the “proof” out step by step. When the loser of your chain has actually beaten the winner in real life, it'll happily call out the contradiction. Hit the random button for instant chaos, then take the receipts to the comment section.

For an argument that actually holds up, try the fight predictor or the tale of the tape.
