Winner: Kennedy Nzechukwu

Confidence Score: 78

Kennedy Nzechukwu has significant advantages in striking, physical attributes, and defensive wrestling for this heavyweight matchup. He boasts a higher significant strike accuracy (47% vs 40%), more knockout power (10 KO wins vs 1), and a much better takedown defense (81% vs 0%). His reach and size (83" arm, 47" leg) give him a major range advantage over Marcus Buchecha (77.5" arm, 41" leg), making it difficult for Buchecha to close the distance. Buchecha is a world-class grappler but has shown extremely poor takedown ability in MMA (9% accuracy) and no takedown defense. Kennedy's experience against strong grapplers and his ability to keep the fight standing is a major factor, as fighters with high-level takedown defense and striking have historically had strong success against pure grapplers at heavyweight. Additionally, Kennedy's average fight time is much shorter, indicating finishing ability, and his recent form and durability are superior. Unless Buchecha can secure a quick submission, the data strongly favors Kennedy to control the fight and likely finish by KO/TKO.
