Our plan on this fight
The order is public before the bell. If it fills, it fills. If it does not, the position rides to settlement and takes whatever that brings. That rule is set in advance so it cannot be rewritten afterwards.
Every plan we publish is graded like this, win or lose, and nothing is removed after the fact. How we lock and grade · ExclusiveTuna’s record

These are career rates from the fighters' official pages, read the day after the event. Most had not been updated with this fight yet, so they describe each man going in, not including this result. Takedown accuracy is left out everywhere: the published figure contradicts the published takedown average on several fighters, so we would rather show nothing than show a number we cannot reconcile.
Where each number came from, and what did not reconcile (20 notes)
- Chikadze: UFC.com stat block EXCLUDES UFC 331. Working: published average fight time 12:52 = 772.1s. His 13 fights before this one (12 UFC bouts plus the Jun 19 2018 DWCS loss to Austin Springer, which UFC.com counts) total 900+900+900+900+231+63+704+1500+900+900+900+389+850 = 10,037s; 10,037/13 = 772.1s = 12:52 exactly. Adding this fight (117s) gives 10,154s over 14 = 725.3s = 12:05, which is not what the page shows. Therefore slpm, acc, sapm, sdef, td, tdd, kd and avg are all PRE-UFC 331 figures.
- Chikadze: The same page is internally inconsistent: its record block (15-7-0) and its fight-history module HAVE ingested UFC 331, while the stat block has not.
- Chikadze: TRAP CONFIRMED: every row of UFC.com's fight-history module carries a 'Win' badge, including the losses to Brito, Vallejos and Onama. Badges discarded. Last-seven rebuilt from Sherdog and Wikipedia, which agree row for row and reconcile to 15-6 before / 15-7 after (Barboza W 14-2, Kattar L 14-3, Caceres W 15-3, Allen L 15-4, Onama L 15-5, Vallejos L 15-6, Brito L 15-7).
- Chikadze: Method wording: the facts file and the brief say KO (strikes). Sherdog and Wikipedia both render it KO (punches). Carried as KO (strikes) per the facts file.
- Chikadze: Stance is not published by UFC.com, Sherdog or Wikipedia. null.
- Chikadze: Team: UFC.com publishes no team for him. Kings MMA is taken from Sherdog and Wikipedia, which agree. Flagged because it is not a UFC.com figure.
- Chikadze: Takedown accuracy (UFC.com: 17%) deliberately omitted per brief.
- Chikadze: Wins-by-method 9 KO/TKO, 1 sub, 5 dec agree exactly between UFC.com and Sherdog. Note this differs from the 9/0/6 placeholder in the brief's template.
- Chikadze: Minor, outside the last seven: the Omar Morales bout is dated Oct 10 2020 by Sherdog and Oct 11 2020 by Wikipedia. Not used.
- Chikadze: Sample: UFC.com's rates rest on 13 fights totalling 10,037s (2h47m17s) of recorded cage time. Reasonable depth for striking rates; the grappling rates rest on almost no takedown attempts (td 0.18 per 15 min).
- Brito: UFC.com has NOT ingested UFC 331 for this fighter at all. Working: its record block still reads 19-5-1 and its wins-by-method tally is 8 KO + 8 sub + 3 dec = 19 wins, both of which are the PRE-fight record; post-fight is 20-5-1. Its fight-history module's newest entry is Jun 6 2026 vs Jordan Leavitt, with no Sep 19 2026 row at all.
- Brito: Average fight time confirms it independently: published 8:52 = 532.3s. His 11 fights before this one (10 UFC bouts plus the Aug 31 2021 DWCS technical decision over Diego Lopes, which UFC.com counts) total 900+41+122+174+534+515+900+900+900+259+610 = 5,855s; 5,855/11 = 532.3s = 8:52 exactly. Adding this fight (117s) gives 5,972s over 12 = 497.7s = 8:17. So slpm, acc, sapm, sdef, td, tdd, kd and avg are all PRE-UFC 331 figures.
- Brito: fin / ko / sub / dec are POST-fight and DERIVED, not published anywhere yet. UFC.com and Sherdog both publish 8 KO/TKO, 8 sub, 3 dec against 19 wins. The verified result (KO of Chikadze) makes it 9/8/3 against 20 wins. Pure arithmetic on a verified finish, but flagged because no source states 9/8/3.
- Brito: Sherdog is stale too: it still shows 19-5-1 and lists UFC 331 as an UPCOMING fight. Last-seven built from Wikipedia (which carries the result) and cross-checked against Sherdog for the six earlier bouts; the two agree row for row and reconcile 19-5-1 to 20-5-1 with the 2016 draw against Jefson Castor preserved (Pearce W 16-3-1, Shore W 17-3-1, Gomis L 17-4-1, Sabatini L 17-5-1, Thomson W 18-5-1, Leavitt W 19-5-1, Chikadze W 20-5-1).
- Brito: DATE OF BIRTH UNRESOLVED, so born is null. Wikipedia says Feb 15 1995, Sherdog says Feb 11 1995. UFC.com publishes no date of birth. ESPN's fighter pages render client-side and returned empty; Tapology blocks fetching. Age 31 is safe: both candidate dates give 31 as of Sep 2026, and UFC.com independently publishes 31.
- Brito: UFC.com publishes takedown accuracy 6% alongside a takedown average of 3.23 per 15 min, which cannot both be right. This is the contradiction the brief flagged. Takedown accuracy omitted.
- Brito: Stance is not published by UFC.com, Sherdog or Wikipedia. null.
- Brito: Nickname: UFC.com house style is Tubarao. Wikipedia and Tapology use the accented Tubarão. UFC form carried.
- Brito: Team: UFC.com says Chute Boxe; Sherdog and Wikipedia say Chute Boxe Joao Emilio. UFC form carried, no contradiction.
- Brito: Sample thinness: UFC.com's rates rest on 11 fights totalling 5,855s (1h37m35s) of cage time, and five of his last seven ended inside the distance, so the per-minute rates are driven by a small number of short, violent fights. The 44% striking defence and the 51% of significant strikes he lands in particular come off very little time at range.
