Why the model leans this way

O'Neill 86 — the tape favors power striker

Casey O'Neill is the model side at 85.6% because the largest live edges sit where this fight is likely to be fought. Grappler historical edge: Moura (ground 60) into O'Neill (TD reaction 49). Punching agility is the clearest separator: O'Neill 84 (A) vs Moura 42 (D). Hand speed / output lean O'Neill (7.9 SLpM at 58%).

Path · O'Neill

O'Neill has to stuff the first takedown (49 TD-reaction), keep this standing, and hunt a pocket that grades 68 on defense. Wrestling is the death lane.

Path · Moura

Moura has to wrestle early, chain the second shot, and make O'Neill defend the neck instead of throwing. It is the only reliable flip if the pocket goes cold.

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

Full read

Style and location. Wrestling entries, fence control, and mat time should decide the scorecards — or the finish. O'Neill is built as: Power striker — suspect hips against the shot. Moura is built as: Hybrid who can change levels. Fight IQ delta is -5 toward Moura — that is composure, win-lane diversity, and whether they solve a second problem when the first look dies.

The edges that move the number. Punching agility: O'Neill 84 (A) vs Moura 42 (D). Hand speed / output lean O'Neill (7.9 SLpM at 58%). Takedown reaction: Moura 74 (B) vs O'Neill 49 (D). When the shot comes, Moura stuffs it at 80% — O'Neill is at 79%. Ground game: Moura 60 (C+) vs O'Neill 41 (D). Moura brings 3.7 TD/15 and 5 sub wins into O'Neill's 79% takedown defense.

The finish path leans strikes (33% KO/TKO vs 26% submission). One clean read in the pocket can flip a close card. This is a firm lean, not a lock. The upset script is Moura attacking ground game with durability. These trait marks are derived from FightMetric rates, career method shares, and loaded bout rows — reaction time and agility are proxies, not stopwatch numbers. The model folds the same scores into win probability, so a hole on this card is a hole in the percentage.
