Winner: Ricky Turcios

Confidence Score: 65

Ricky Turcios has a slight edge in this matchup due to a combination of experience, durability, and activity. He holds a better significant strike accuracy (40% vs 37%), a longer average fight time (suggesting greater cardio and durability), and a notable reach advantage (71" arm reach vs 69"). While neither fighter is highly successful with takedowns, Turcios attempts more and has a freestyle background, which often translates into more diverse grappling and scrambling ability. Smotherman has more knockout wins, but his takedown defense (63%) and lack of offensive wrestling (0% accuracy) could be exploited by Turcios, who is accustomed to longer, more competitive fights. Both have recent losses to tough competition, but Turcios' experience and ability to go the distance give him the edge in a likely close decision.
