Winner: Benoit Saint Denis
Confidence Score: 75Benoit Saint Denis demonstrates a balance of skills, with a strong record of effective submissions and a high success rate in takedowns, supported by efficient striking accuracy. Joel Alvarez, despite an impressive record and significant physical advantages, shows vulnerabilities in takedown defense and faces a potential stylistic disadvantage against Saint Denis' approach. Considering Saint Denis' close combat strategies and defensive abilities, I assess that his diverse skillset offers an edge in controlling the bout and potentially neutralizing Alvarez's long-range striking and submission attempts.
