The analysis

GPT
Jafel Filho by Submission, 64% confidence

Durden's wrestling volume and 4.36 TDs per 15 minutes mean he will proactively engage the grappling, which plays directly into Filho's strongest win condition: an aggressive submission game (2.6 subs per 15) and opportunistic front-chokes/back-takes. Durden's historically strong top control can win minutes, but his submission defense has been penetrable against high-level grapplers, and Filho is significantly more dangerous off his back than Durden is on his. On the feet Durden is slightly busier and more accurate, but not enough of a knockout threat to deter Filho from exchanging and creating scrambles. Over three rounds, the repeated wrestling entries and scrambles favor Filho finding a neck or back at some point, especially as Durden's pace taxes his gas tank.
