Winner: Austin Vanderford

Confidence Score: 62

Austin Vanderford is the pick due to his more well-rounded MMA game and physical advantages. He holds a better overall record (13-2 vs 12-5), is slightly taller with a 2-inch reach advantage in both arms and legs, and has shown excellent takedown defense (100%). While Ramiz Brahimaj is a submission specialist with 11 wins by submission, his takedown defense is weak (47%), and he has struggled against physically strong, defensively sound wrestlers in the past. Vanderford's striking accuracy (63%) and defense (51%) are significantly superior to Brahimaj's (45% and 44%), and his ability to keep the fight standing or in advantageous positions will limit Brahimaj's main path to victory. Historically, fighters with Vanderford's physical attributes and skill set have succeeded against submission-heavy opponents with lower takedown defense. Both are coming off recent wins, but Vanderford's style and athletic profile give him the edge in a typical UFC welterweight matchup.
