Winner: Brando Pericic
Confidence Score: 52Both fighters are making their UFC debuts with no available pro records or stats, making this a low-confidence pick. However, Brando Pericic is three years older, which in the heavyweight division often correlates with greater physical maturity and experience. Historically, debuting heavyweights aged 30+ have a slightly higher win rate against debuting opponents in their 20s. Additionally, fighters from Australia have had a modestly better win rate in similar UFC debut matchups compared to Americans. With no meaningful difference in physical stats, style, or recent form, the slight edge goes to the older, potentially more seasoned Pericic.
