1/ How impactful are KO/TKO losses in the @ufc?

Here I show some quick analysis regarding the frequency of KO/TKO losses.

More analysis is needed, but this may be of interest to the @UFCPI.

🧵 2/ This figure shows the frequency of each fight outcome following a KO/TKO loss.

This is concerning - more on that later.
