Why the model leans this way

Judice 88 — the tape favors power striker

Carli Judice is the model side at 88.0% because the largest live edges sit where this fight is likely to be fought. Grappler historical edge: Barber (ground 37) into Judice (TD reaction 68). Open-stance look favors the southpaw / switch side slightly. Ground game is the clearest separator: Barber 37 (D) vs Judice 19 (D). Barber brings 1.6 TD/15 and 2 sub wins into Judice's 83% takedown defense.

Path · Barber

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

Path · Judice

Judice has to stuff the first takedown (68 TD-reaction), keep this standing, and hunt a pocket that grades 67 on defense. Wrestling is the death lane.

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