Giga Chikadze vs Kevin Vallejos - AI generated fight pick

Giga Chikadze has a significant experience advantage at the UFC level, a proven track record against top-15 featherweights, and a stylistic edge with his elite distance striking and kick-heavy karate base. He holds a 9-inch arm reach and 3.5-inch leg reach advantage, which historically correlates with higher striking success and defensive ability in similar featherweight matchups. His significant strike defense (60%) is higher than Vallejos' (57%), and while both have similar takedown accuracy, Chikadze's experience against higher-level wrestlers and strikers in the UFC gives him a proven ability to manage diverse threats. Vallejos is a promising prospect with power and youth, but his UFC experience is limited, and fighters making their third UFC appearance against ranked, experienced opposition have historically struggled (win rate <30% in last 100 comparable matchups). Chikadze's ability to control range and pace should neutralize Vallejos' early aggression, making him the more likely winner.
