Why the model leans this way

Cowan 73 — the tape favors hybrid who can change levels

Hailey Cowan is the model side at 73.4% because the largest live edges sit where this fight is likely to be fought. Grappler historical edge: Cowan (ground 38) into Milošević (TD reaction 69). Open-stance look favors the southpaw / switch side slightly. Ground game is the clearest separator: Cowan 38 (D) vs Milošević 16 (D). Cowan brings 1.8 TD/15 and 2 sub wins into Milošević's 85% takedown defense.

Path · Milošević

Milošević has to stuff the first takedown (69 TD-reaction), keep this standing, and hunt a pocket that grades 62 on defense. Wrestling is the death lane.

Path · Cowan

Cowan has to wrestle early, chain the second shot, and make Milošević defend the neck instead of throwing. That is the percentage path.

This is a firm lean, not a lock. The upset script is Milošević attacking ground game with durability.
