Ricky Simon vs Charles Jourdain - AI generated fight pick

Ricky Simon holds a significant stylistic advantage due to his elite wrestling and strong takedown game, which historically has proven effective against strikers like Charles Jourdain. Simon's takedown accuracy (44%) and takedown defense (75%) are both much higher than Jourdain's takedown stats (21% accuracy, 47% defense), suggesting Simon will be able to dictate where the fight takes place. Simon also has a higher significant strike defense (61% vs 57%), which will help mitigate Jourdain's striking advantage. While Jourdain is dangerous with submissions and has finishing ability, Simon's wrestling-heavy approach and better defensive metrics give him a reliable path to victory, especially as fighters with similar wrestling backgrounds and stat profiles have outperformed strikers in the recent UFC bantamweight matchups.
