The analysis

Claude
Daria Zhelezniakova by Decision, 65% confidence

Zhelezniakova holds significant statistical advantages in striking efficiency with a positive differential (+1.59) compared to Mullins' negative differential (-0.91). Her superior striking defense (79% vs Mullins' 47%) is particularly telling. While both fighters have mixed recent results, Zhelezniakova's defensive prowess should allow her to control distance and accumulate points. Mullins' vulnerability to strikes (absorbing 3.64 significant strikes per minute) creates a clear path for Zhelezniakova to outpoint her over three rounds. The one concern for Zhelezniakova is her 50% takedown defense, but Mullins' poor 20% takedown accuracy mitigates this risk.
