🏁Executive Summary

This featherweight bout presents a fascinating tactical battle between Gomis's proven UFC experience and striking precision against Ruchała's superior grappling credentials and finishing power. While Gomis's 4-1 UFC record and 51% striking accuracy create clear pathways to victory through range control and decision-making, Ruchała's 75 grappling composite and 2.4 takedowns per 15 minutes present legitimate threats that could determine the outcome in the early rounds.

The statistical analysis favors Gomis's experience and striking advantages, particularly in championship-level pressure management where his UFC composure becomes increasingly decisive. However, Ruchała's ability to impose his grappling game and utilize his finishing power (54.5% finish rate) creates genuine uncertainty in this stylistic matchup.

Prediction: Gomis's proven ability to perform under UFC pressure, combined with superior striking metrics and physical advantages, gives him the slight edge in this competitive matchup. The 65-35 split reflects genuine uncertainty, with the winner likely emerging through either Gomis's patient striking discipline ultimately prevailing through superior range control, or Ruchała's explosive grappling power creating decisive moments before experience advantages take effect, likely resulting in a decision victory for the veteran that establishes his position in the featherweight division.
