Winner: Nick Klein
Confidence Score: 62Nick Klein is likely to win due to his higher finishing rate, more aggressive fight style, and better offensive statistics. Klein has a higher significant strike accuracy (60% vs 58%), a slightly better takedown accuracy (20% vs 17%), and a much shorter average fight time (4:31 vs 15:00), indicating a more aggressive and finishing-oriented approach. He also has more first-round finishes (4 out of 6 wins) and a higher submission win rate, which could be key if the fight hits the ground. While Andrey Pulyaev has a longer reach and strong takedown defense (86%), his low takedown accuracy and tendency to go to decisions suggest he may struggle to impose his game. Historically, fighters with Klein's finishing profile, accuracy, and aggression have a higher win rate in similar middleweight matchups, especially when facing opponents with less offensive output and a more defensive style. Both fighters are coming off a loss to the same opponent, but Klein's quicker finishing ability and greater submission threat give him the edge.
