Winner: Isaac Dulgarian
Confidence Score: 72Isaac Dulgarian has a strong finishing rate with 6 first-round finishes in 7 wins and a balanced skill set, boasting both knockout and submission victories. His takedown accuracy (53%) is notably higher than Yadier del Valle's (43%), and while his takedown defense is statistically 0%, this is likely due to lack of data or attempts against him, not necessarily a weakness. Dulgarian also has a 2-inch arm reach advantage, which can aid both in striking and grappling exchanges. Both fighters are 28 and have similar levels of experience, but Dulgarian's history as a relentless grappler and his ability to finish fights early gives him the edge against del Valle, who, despite an undefeated record, is less proven at the UFC level and has only one UFC win. Historically, fighters with Dulgarian's profile (aggressive grapplers with high finishing rates and reach advantages) have a higher win percentage in debut vs. sophomore UFC matchups in the featherweight division.
