The analysis
Limited data makes this prediction challenging, but Pulyaev shows superior offensive output (6.53 SLPM vs 5.33) and better grappling credentials (50% TD accuracy vs 0%). While Gautier has better striking defense (56% vs 47%) and accuracy (71% vs 68%), Pulyaev's volume advantage and takedown threat should allow him to control the fight. The southpaw stance gives Pulyaev angles against the switch-stance Gautier.
Pulyaev throws higher volume with strong accuracy and mixes in takedowns at 1 per fight with 50% accuracy, which should let him edge rounds in minutes won even if clean, efficient striker Gautier lands the sharper shots. Gautier's superior strike differential, defense, and 90% TDD make him hard to dominate or finish, but Pulyaev's pace, slight reach edge, and offensive wrestling tilt a competitive, mostly stand-up fight toward him on the scorecards.
