Winner: Uran Satybaldiev
Confidence Score: 63Uran Satybaldiev holds significant physical advantages in height, weight, arm reach, and leg reach over Diyar Nurgozhay, which is historically a strong predictor of success in the light heavyweight division. While Nurgozhay has impressive takedown stats (100% accuracy and defense), his significant strike accuracy and defense are lower than Satybaldiev's physical metrics would suggest he can exploit. Satybaldiev's longer average fight time and proven durability, combined with a higher reach and size, align with historical trends where physically larger and more durable fighters with solid takedown defense succeed against more aggressive but less physically imposing opponents. Although Satybaldiev's striking accuracy is low, his reach and defense should help him control the range. Both fighters are coming off similar losses, but the size and reach disparity is a notable edge in this matchup.
