Write-up
Jared Gordon holds significant advantages in striking volume, accuracy, and striking differential. Garcia is more wrestling-oriented with better takedown stats and defense, but Gordon's superior output and overall striking effectiveness make him likely to outpoint Garcia over three rounds. Gordon's takedown defense is adequate to keep the fight standing for long stretches, further favoring his style.
