Winner: Asu Almabayev

Confidence Score: 86

Asu Almabayev has a significant edge in experience, with a 21-3 record compared to Jose Ochoa's 8-1. He is a proven grappler with 9 submission wins and a 43% takedown accuracy, while Ochoa has not shown any offensive wrestling in the UFC (0% takedown accuracy). Almabayev's striking is also more efficient, landing at 54% accuracy versus Ochoa's 32%. While Ochoa is physically longer and has a strong knockout record, his UFC experience is limited and he struggled in his debut against a less proven opponent. Historically, fighters with Almabayev's grappling credentials and experience fare well against younger, less-tested strikers in the flyweight division. Almabayev's ability to mix striking and grappling, plus his proven durability and composure, make him the clear favorite.
