With a simple spreadsheet and grading system on these characteristics, or at least the ones I think actually apply, you can see the profile of a given fighter:
In this example, fighter A is a smaller, more skilled fighter versus fighter B, a larger, stronger, lesser skilled person. These fighters are clearly unequal in many aspects, but who wins? This brings up the factoring of the importance of the characteristics, a multiplier on the grade.
If you imagine each of these characteristics being independently and objectively measurable with a grade of 1 to 10, how many truly different fighter profiles could there be? This is a purely academic problem, and almost useless in judging which characteristics outweigh others, or deciding which fighter may be "mathematically superior" to another. But, this is the Internet, and we do have time to waste, don't we? The answer is the number of characteristics (c) raised to the power of the potential grade (g), or cg
Which is 14**10 = 140 Billion (140,000,000,000) different potentially different fighter profiles. Wow, I have no idea what that proves. The good news is, the Internet is such a fun place for geeks, I will no doubt have a busybody math wizard / BJJ hybrid sending me email correcting my equation in no time.
