Write-up
Yadier del Valle's significantly higher striking output (7.49 SLpM vs. 3.37), superior striking accuracy (67% vs. 64%), and better striking defense (52% vs. 41%) suggest he can control the fight at range. His takedown defense (66%) is likely sufficient to limit Dulgarian's wrestling (5.15 TD avg), and his own grappling is strong enough (2.51 TD avg, 1.7 sub avg) to threaten in scrambles. Both fighters are finish-oriented, but del Valle's output and defense give him the edge over three rounds.
