The market has Chopurov at 79% (-520), but he is making his UFC debut, so I cap confidence at 65. He has no UFC stats; all I have is an unbeaten 11-0 pro record, his age (24) and the strength of the line. A price that short for a debutant usually means strong regional credentials and a hyped prospect, so I side with him. The stats I'm given can't confirm that, and that uncertainty is why I'm 14 points below the market. Thicknesse has three UFC fights, all decisions: he lost to Aleksandre Topuria, then beat Josias Musasa and Vince Morales, so he is on a two-fight streak. His UFCStats per-minute numbers are missing, so I can't judge his output. What the record does show is durability: he has never been finished in the UFC and keeps fights competitive over three rounds. That makes a decision the likeliest result even if Chopurov is the better fighter. Thicknesse is the live underdog here, but I have no concrete evidence to justify picking against a price this strong.

Chopurov is the pick at the supplied normalized market probability of approximately 81%. Confidence is capped at 65% because he is a UFC debutant; this 16-point reduction reflects the required uncertainty cap, not evidence of market mispricing. His listed 11-0 record lacks opponent details, preventing assessment of opposition quality. Thicknesse's newer log shows two consecutive decision wins, superseding the older two-fight statistical sample, and his reported 169-day layoff is below the material-risk threshold. Missing statistics establish no technical advantages. Decision is a tentative pick supported by Thicknesse's three recent decisions; method percentages are conditional on Chopurov winning.
