Marlon Vera vs Aiemann Zahabi - AI generated fight pick

Marlon Vera is favored due to his higher level of UFC experience, more proven track record against elite competition, and a more diverse finishing ability (8 KOs, 10 submissions). He is five years younger than Zahabi, has a reach advantage (arm: 70.5" vs 68.5", leg: 40.5" vs 38"), and has shown greater offensive grappling (39% takedown accuracy vs Zahabi's 14%). While Zahabi is on a strong win streak and has elite striking defense (70%), Vera's volume, pressure, and ability to mix striking with submissions have proven effective against top-10 bantamweights. Historically, fighters with Vera's combination of reach, age, and finishing ability have a higher win rate against older, defense-oriented opponents. Vera's durability and activity edge him ahead, but Zahabi's defense and recent form make this less than a lock.
