John Yannis
60% · Decision
- Yannis' 71% significant strike defense and low SApM indicate better early defensive fundamentals at UFC level
- 4-inch reach advantage for Yannis combined with Orthodox vs Southpaw dynamic favors outside striking and range control
- Lack of proven finishing metrics for either fighter at UFC level points toward a lower-variance, decision-heavy fight
Write-up
With virtually no UFC sample on either side, the only usable metric is Yannis' 71% strike defense and very low damage absorbed (0.55 SApM), suggesting better defensive awareness and distance management. Siraj has no demonstrated UFC-level effectiveness yet, and Yannis also carries a 4-inch reach advantage plus an Orthodox vs Southpaw look that should help him manage range, pick safer spots, and edge rounds in a lower-volume, feel-out type fight.
