Dustin Jacoby vs Julius Walker - AI generated fight pick

Dustin Jacoby has a significant edge in UFC experience, with 21 wins and 9 losses over a long tenure since 2011, compared to Julius Walker's very recent debut and just two UFC fights. Jacoby's striking defense (58%) and offensive finishing ability (14 KOs, 13 first-round finishes) are proven at a higher level, while Walker's wins have come against lower-tier opposition. While Walker is younger, has a slight reach advantage, and shows promise with a 56% striking accuracy and perfect takedown defense so far, he is still largely untested against elite competition. Historically, fighters with Jacoby's experience, finishing rate, and striking defense win the majority of similar matchups against younger, less-tested opponents. Jacoby's durability and ability to control the pace should allow him to outlast the less-experienced Walker, especially as Walker's only UFC loss came to a similar style in Alonzo Menifield. Unless Jacoby shows sudden age-related decline, he should be favored.
