📊Technical Analysis Breakdown
🥊 Irina Alekseeva Profile
Striking Composite: 70/100
Weighted average favors moderate output (3.84 SLpM) and accuracy (43%), with decent defense (49% StrDef). Solid but not elite striking foundation.
Grappling Composite: 85/100
Strong submission threat (0.87 SubPer15) and perfect takedown defense (100% TDDef), despite low takedown volume. Excellent grappling base driven by Sambo background.
Technical Score: 77.5/100
Technical profile driven by grappling excellence. Striking is functional but less refined, relying on volume over precision.
🥊 Klaudia Sygula Profile
Striking Composite: 50/100
Low output (2.45 SLpM), poor defense (36.47% StrDef), and high absorption rate (8.53 StrAbsPM). Below average striking metrics across the board.
Grappling Composite: 30/100
No grappling output in UFC debut (0% TDAcc, 0 SubPer15). Severely limited grappling capabilities with assumed 0% TDDef given opponent control.
Technical Score: 40/100
Technical profile hampered by debut performance showing minimal offensive output and poor defensive metrics.
⚔️Key Advantages Breakdown
🔵 Alekseeva's Advantages
🤼 Grappling Dominance
Sambo background with 100% finish rate via submission (e.g., kneebar vs. Egger). Klaudia's 0% grappling output leaves her vulnerable to takedowns and submissions.
🛡️ Striking Defense (+34%)
Superior defensive metrics (49% vs 36.47% StrDef, 3.55 vs 8.53 StrAbsPM). Absorbs 58% fewer strikes per minute - massive durability advantage.
👑 Experience Edge
Two UFC fights vs. Klaudia's single losing effort. 5-2 overall record with proven ability to finish fights against stiffer competition.
🔴 Sygula's Advantages
⚡ Youth & Potential
Younger fighter may have slight cardio edge, though debut TKO loss raises questions about ability to go deep into fights.
🥊 Striking Accuracy (42%)
Comparable accuracy to Alekseeva suggests she can land strikes if she increases volume. However, low SLpM (2.45) limits this potential advantage.
⚠️ Limited Advantages
Sygula faces significant deficits in most key areas. Her best path requires a striking upset while avoiding Alekseeva's grappling game entirely.
🎯Fight Scenarios & Gameplans
🔵 Alekseeva's Path to Victory
Primary Gameplan:
Close distance early, initiate clinch exchanges, and secure takedowns to leverage submission game. Despite 20% TDAcc, Klaudia's assumed 0% TDDef makes this highly feasible.
Secondary Strategy:
Use 3.84 SLpM to pepper with strikes at range, targeting Klaudia's high StrAbsPM (8.53) to accumulate damage and set up grappling entries.
Unfavorable Scenario:
Extended striking battles where 43% StrAcc could be exposed. If Klaudia finds rhythm and lands power shots, Alekseeva's moderate knockout power becomes a liability.
🔴 Sygula's Path to Victory
Primary Gameplan:
Keep fight standing using movement to avoid clinch and takedown attempts. 42% StrAcc suggests she can land if she increases 2.45 SLpM output significantly.
Secondary Strategy:
Target Alekseeva's body to sap cardio and slow grappling pace. Survive early grappling attempts and capitalize on any cardio edge in rounds 2-3.
Critical Vulnerabilities:
Grappling deficiency (0% TDAcc, no submissions) makes her a sitting duck against Sambo-based attacks. High damage absorption (8.53 StrAbsPM) compounds defensive liabilities.

⚔️Match-up Analysis
🗺️ Geography Control
Alekseeva's grappling composite (85/100) dwarfs Sygula's (30/100), suggesting she can dictate fight location. Her 0.87 SubPer15 aligns with Sygula's defensive vulnerabilities for frequent ground control.
💥 Damage Assessment
Alekseeva's 49% StrDef and 3.55 StrAbsPM give her clear edge over Sygula's 36.47% StrDef and 8.53 StrAbsPM. Primary finishing threats come via submission (Alekseeva) vs. striking upset (Sygula).
🔥 Cardio & Round-Winning
Alekseeva's 8:36 average fight duration and technical cardio score (75/100) vs. Sygula's 6:33 and 60/100. Extended fights favor Alekseeva's conditioning and experience advantage.
🎯 Technical Edges
Decisive advantages in grappling (85 vs 30), defense (multiple metrics), and experience (2 UFC fights vs 1). Sygula's only potential edge is striking accuracy parity, but low volume limits impact.

🏁Executive Summary
This bantamweight clash represents a classic grappler vs striker matchup, with Alekseeva's Sambo background creating an overwhelming stylistic advantage. Her superior grappling composite (85 vs 30), perfect takedown defense (100% vs 0%), and submission threat (0.87 vs 0 SubPer15) establish clear paths to victory.
Sygula's poor defensive metrics (36.47% StrDef, 8.53 StrAbsPM) and lack of grappling output suggest vulnerability once the fight moves to the ground. The model strongly favors early takedowns leading to submission finishes, with high conviction in the Under 2.5 rounds proposition.
Bottom Line: Alekseeva's technical superiority across multiple domains creates an 82% win probability with exceptional value opportunities. Expect early grappling control leading to submission victory.
