Context
There are some great UFC datasets out there, but I could not find one that included gambling odds. So I went and made one myself. This dataset focuses very generally on the fights and hopes to be able to draw very broad conclusions. More a more in depth statistical fight analysis I would recommend Rajeev Warrier's excellent datasetwhich was the inspiration for my work.
