How the index works

Each decision gets a controversy score out of 100: the share of fan scorecards that scored the fight for the official loser (55%), the share of media scores that picked the loser (35%), and whether the judges themselves split (10%). A fight needs at least 25 fan cards or 5 media scores to qualify, small samples don't rank.
