      Why Raina made this pick

      Joanderson Brito is the more complete grappler here, and the model gives that skill set the deciding weight over 3 rounds.

      Giga Chikadze's clearest path is landing early power before the fight settles - a live route, which is why confidence sits at 73%.

      Reach, stance (Orthodox vs Orthodox) and pace history all point to a finish around round 3.
