Winner: Brad Tavares
Confidence Score: 68Brad Tavares is the more proven and experienced UFC fighter, with a significant edge in octagon time and quality of opposition. He boasts a much higher significant strike accuracy (43% vs 24%), more reliable takedown defense (82% vs 100% but Bryczek has not faced many takedown attempts), and a more well-rounded MMA style compared to Bryczek's boxing. Tavares has shown durability and the ability to go the distance, while Bryczek, despite his finishing power, struggled in his UFC debut and has a low strike accuracy. Historically, fighters with Tavares' profile (veteran, high accuracy, strong defensive metrics, and experience against top 15 opposition) win the majority of these matchups against less proven, one-dimensional finishers. While Tavares is aging (37), his style and recent performances suggest he can still outpoint or outlast newer, less tested opponents like Bryczek.
