The study provides experimental data to substantiate selection and assessment of the competitive performance models for adaptive combat sports based on a generalized data analysis and chaos-and-synergy theory. It was found that the numbers of actual combat skills actually employed in competitive bouts are in an inverse correlation with the body mass, with the actual competitive records confirming the finding. A competitive success depends on how efficient is the fighter in mobilizing every trained skill and versatility in pursuing the own tactics (fight plan), in defense and attacks, and how mentally and emotionally balanced and tolerant the athlete is to the stresses. Synergy analysis showed that the higher is the trained skills mobilization factor the higher is the quasi-attractor asymmetry with the growing chaos in the system. The trained skills mobilization factor was found positively correlated both with the quasi-attractor asymmetry (r=0.979, p<0.01, n=18) and inversely correlated with the body mass (r=-0.663, p<0.01, n=18). The analysis also found the following variables of the highest effect on the degree of order and trained skills mobilization factor: success rate; competitive determination; scoring technical actions; and the attack success rate.
