Winner: Clayton Carpenter
Confidence Score: 73Clayton Carpenter holds a notable edge in grappling and striking efficiency. He has a higher significant strike accuracy (54% vs 38%) and a higher submission win rate (4 subs vs 1 for Ochoa), indicating a more well-rounded finishing ability. While Ochoa has strong KO power (7 KOs), Carpenter’s superior striking accuracy and submission threat present a difficult stylistic matchup for Ochoa, who has lost to technical strikers by decision. Carpenter’s average fight time is shorter, suggesting he is more effective at finding finishes. Ochoa has a slight reach and youth advantage, but Carpenter's experience, accuracy, and grappling give him the edge. Historically, fighters with Carpenter’s stat profile and finishing versatility have succeeded at a higher rate in similar UFC flyweight matchups.
