Path · Vieira

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

Path · Bryczek

Bryczek has to stuff the first takedown (64 TD-reaction), keep this standing, and hunt a pocket that grades 64 on defense. Wrestling is the death lane.

A one-score fight on the model. Any three-minute pocket explosion or a stuck takedown against the grain wipes a lot of this number.

The edges that move the number. Ground game: Vieira 60 (C+) vs Bryczek 34 (D). Vieira brings 2.9 TD/15 and 9 sub wins into Bryczek's 84% takedown defense. Durability: Bryczek 85 (A) vs Vieira 68 (B).

The finish path leans the mat (48% submission). Once a takedown sticks, the neck becomes the whole fight. A one-score fight on the model. Any three-minute pocket explosion or a stuck takedown against the grain wipes a lot of this number. 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.
