This matchup features Curtis dropping to welterweight against the veteran Griffin in what projects as a primarily striking affair. Curtis brings superior volume (5.76 SLPM vs Griffin's 3.92) and slightly better striking accuracy (51% vs 49%), though both fighters have similar defensive metrics. Griffin's wrestling advantage (1.45 TDs per fight vs Curtis' 0) is mitigated by Curtis' excellent 82% takedown defense. Curtis' experience against higher-caliber opposition at middleweight should translate well to welterweight, though the weight cut is a significant variable. Griffin's more balanced approach gives him multiple paths to victory, but Curtis' volume striking and pressure should be the difference-maker in close rounds. Curtis' durability has been exceptional throughout his career, having never been finished by strikes, which neutralizes Griffin's KO threat.
