Andre Fili vs Christian Rodriguez - AI generated fight pick

Andre Fili holds significant advantages in experience, physical attributes, and durability. He has a 7-inch height, 2.5-inch arm reach, and 3.5-inch leg reach advantage over Christian Rodriguez, which is historically impactful in featherweight matchups. Fili's 70% takedown defense is slightly better than Rodriguez's 69%, and he has more first round finishes (8 vs. 5), suggesting greater finishing ability. While Rodriguez is younger and has slightly better striking and grappling accuracy, he has struggled against opponents with reach and experience, as evidenced by his recent loss to Melquizael Costa. Fili, despite being older, has fought a higher level of competition and is less likely to be finished early. Historical data favors experienced, long fighters in similar matchups, and Fili's style and size should allow him to control the range and pace, giving him the edge in a competitive fight.
