Subjective evaluations play a crucial role in many contexts, including workplace performance reviews. In this paper, we use a rich new dataset from Mixed Martial Arts to estimate the impact of attractiveness and race on perceived performance. To replicate and extend empirical findings, we also conduct a lab experiment. Our results reveal that attractiveness and race significantly affect perceived performance, especially when actual performance levels are comparable. Black fighters and individuals judged as less attractive are perceived as more successful. Additionally, participants with more liberal racial attitudes tend to view Black fighters as more successful than White fighters, particularly in scenarios where the White fighter is considered much more attractive than the Black fighter. These findings align with previous research on the importance of race and attractiveness, while highlighting that their effects can vary based on context.
