Two fighter histories. One matchup-specific intelligence layer. Fight DNA compares relevant historical characteristics from each fighter — stance interaction, pace, finish patterns, round progression and context — rather than treating career averages as isolated numbers. Every observation below traces to stored evidence with its sample and confidence.

Round-stat coverage
The matchup has result/finish/stance history, but detailed striking, target, pace and grappling comparisons are withheld until both fighters have archived round observations.
Missing round data is never rendered as a zero and no comparison is inferred from current-career snapshots.
Strongest supported observations
Emitted only when the underlying metric clears its sample threshold; otherwise it lands in the counter-case column.
No additional observation clears its sample threshold yet. The supported profile above remains available.
