Winner: Farid Basharat

Confidence Score: 70

Farid Basharat is undefeated (13-0) and has shown a well-rounded game with a strong grappling base (6 submission wins) and excellent defensive stats, notably 80% takedown defense and 60% significant strike defense. He is 6 years younger than Chris Gutierrez and has a 4-inch reach advantage in arm reach, which is significant for controlling range in the bantamweight division. While Gutierrez is a very experienced and technical striker with excellent leg kicks and a solid 59% striking accuracy and 63% strike defense, he has shown vulnerability to pressure grapplers and is less effective when forced to fight off his back foot. Historically, undefeated prospects with Basharat's profile—youth, reach, high grappling output, and proven defense—have a strong win rate against older, volume-based strikers in similar matchups. Basharat's ability to mix in takedowns (45% accuracy) and his cardio for three rounds further tilt the edge in his favor. While Gutierrez is dangerous and could win a striking-based decision, the stylistic and statistical edges favor Basharat.
