The breakdown

Zevan Hunt is an undefeated prospect with a perfect 7-0 record and a balanced finishing profile (3 KOs, 3 subs, 1 decision). His recent form is sharp: three straight finishes including a slick kneebar submission of Devin Smyth in March 2026 and a first-round TKO of Brian Grinnell. Hunt has faced limited ranked competition but shows technical diversity and finishing instinct. Mayton Perea is a 7-3 veteran with a 57% finish rate (4 KOs, 3 subs) but carries two submission losses and one knockout loss, indicating vulnerability to skilled grapplers and strikers. Perea's recent wins over Rodriguez and Minda came via TKO, but both are lower-tier opposition. The gap in record, undefeated status, and recent momentum favors Hunt decisively.

Hunt — edges

  • Perfect 7-0 record vs. 7-3 with three losses
  • Three straight finishes including submission and striking variety
  • Demonstrated submission skill (kneebar, RNC) against grappling threats
  • Momentum and recency of wins (March 2026)

Perea — edges

  • Veteran experience with 10 UFC/pro fights vs. prospect trajectory
  • Four knockout wins show power and finishing ability
  • Recent TKO wins show current form is active

X-factor

Perea's power and aggression early could catch Hunt if he's overconfident against lower-ranked foe.

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.
