Winner: Hyder Amil
Confidence Score: 62Hyder Amil is on an impressive 11-1 run, showing a high significant strike accuracy (57%) and solid takedown defense (81%). While Jamall Emmers has more UFC experience and a reach advantage (4 inches in arm reach), Amil's striking efficiency and defensive stats are superior. Both fighters are the same age and have similar recent win/loss records, but Amil's style (well-rounded MMA) and his ability to keep fights standing or scramble back up will neutralize Emmers' wrestling and kickboxing. Historically, fighters with Amil's striking accuracy and takedown defense in the featherweight division win at a higher rate than those with Emmers' profile, especially when they are not at a significant age or experience disadvantage. Emmers' 80% takedown defense is strong, but his recent first-round KO loss to Landwehr raises durability questions. Amil's higher accuracy and defensive stats, combined with his momentum, make him the slight favorite in a competitive matchup.
