DIAMOND Life Primer For MMA DFS (My Statistical Values ExplaineD) – What is SACP and XVO-V?

* **SACP (Solver-Adjusted Ceiling Projection):** The Diamond Life Solver’s estimate of a fighter’s realistic tournament-winning ceiling after adjusting the raw ceiling projection for factors such as finish equity, volatility, salary efficiency, and slate context. It is the **primary metric** for identifying fighters with the highest upside in GPPs.*

**XVO-V (Expected Value Over Variance):** A tournament-focused metric that measures the quality of a fighter’s upside relative to their risk. It combines ceiling potential, volatility, leverage, and fragility to identify fighters most likely to outperform the field in large-field GPPs. Higher XVO-V indicates a better risk-versus-reward profile for tournaments.
