Each model's split across the ways this fight can finish, out of 100.

Sterling's higher output and striking accuracy, combined with his proven ability to win minutes with volume and clinch/wrestling pressure, should edge the scorecards against Zalal's more measured, defensively sound style. Zalal's superior defensive metrics and submission rate make a finish against him less likely, but he is unlikely to consistently outwork or control Sterling over three to five rounds.
