Harry Hardwick vs Kaue Fernandes - AI generated fight pick

Kaue Fernandes is the clear pick due to his proven UFC experience and strong finishing ability. He owns a 10-2 record with 6 KOs and 6 submissions, and has shown both knockout power and submission skills, with 8 first-round finishes. His recent UFC performances include a first-round KO win and a unanimous decision over Guram Kutateladze, a tough and experienced opponent, indicating he can compete at a high level. While his takedown stats are currently at 0%, his finishing ability and striking accuracy (50%) are notable. Conversely, Harry Hardwick is making his UFC debut and has no available UFC-level stats for striking, grappling, or defensive metrics. Historically, UFC debutants without major-league experience or statistical backing tend to struggle against established fighters with recent wins in the promotion. Additionally, fighters with similar profiles to Fernandes—age 30, 73-inch reach, and finishing ability—have a high win rate in debut matchups against newcomers. Unless Hardwick has a significant skill edge not reflected in the available data or recent regional form, Fernandes is the more reliable pick.
