Path · Martinez

Martinez has to stuff the first takedown (80 TD-reaction), keep this standing, and hunt a pocket that grades 48 on defense. Wrestling is the death lane.

Ige wins by forcing the fight into their best skill and denying Martinez a long look at durability.

This is a firm lean, not a lock. The upset script is Ige attacking ground game with their best weapon.
