22-point gap. Same winner, but the AI backs Hines noticeably harder than the crowd does.

The breakdown

Alvin Hines is a UFC-tested heavyweight with 5 fights in the octagon, solid finishing rate (6 of 7 wins by finish), and recent activity through mid-2025. He lands 5.47 sig strikes per minute with 32% accuracy and shows submission threat (3 subs in record). However, he just lost a decision to Jhonata Diniz and absorbs 7.47 strikes per minute—a concerning defensive metric. RJ Harris is a massive red flag: his last fight was in June 2021 (nearly 4 years ago), his record is thin at 3-1, and his only recent activity shows a loss in 2012 to Levi Thompson by submission. Harris has zero UFC experience and appears to be a late replacement or journeyman filler. The gap in recent activity, UFC exposure, and current form is stark.

Hines — edges

  • 5 UFC fights with octagon experience vs Harris's zero
  • Recent activity through June 2025; Harris inactive since 2021
  • Consistent finishing threat (6 of 7 wins by finish)
  • Submission grappling credentials (3 submission wins)

Harris — edges

  • 100% submission win rate (2 of 3 wins by sub)
  • No losses by KO/TKO (defensive durability in finishes)

X-factor

Harris's 4-year layoff and lack of UFC tape make his current level impossible to gauge; ring rust could be severe.

About these numbers

Market probability is the live crowd consensus from Polymarket, a public prediction market where people trade on outcomes — we read it as a data signal for what the crowd expects, and it updates continuously. AI probabilityis our own model’s independent read of the matchup from fighter data alone; it never sees the market price, which is why the two can disagree.

All of it is published for analysis and entertainment. Nothing here is betting advice, a recommendation, or a prediction of a guaranteed result — fights are volatile and upsets are the sport.
