Winner: Torrez Finney
Confidence Score: 63Torrez Finney is undefeated at 11-0 and has shown a high finishing rate with 7 KOs and 2 submissions, plus 5 first-round finishes. His significant strike accuracy (69%) and takedown accuracy (60%) are both elite, and his average fight time suggests he can go the distance if needed. While his takedown defense is concerning (0%), his offensive wrestling and finishing ability have largely prevented opponents from exploiting this. Jacob Malkoun, while experienced and durable with a similar average fight time, has a much lower finishing rate, struggles to defend takedowns (20% TDD), and is less accurate with his takedowns (42%). Historically, undefeated wrestlers with higher finishing rates and offensive metrics tend to win against volume-based MMA fighters with low TDD. Finney's youth (26) and physicality (longer reach) further support his edge. However, Malkoun's experience and ability to go the distance keep this from being a high-confidence pick.
