Jin Aoi vs Young Jae Song Prediction

Jin Aoi face Young Jae Song on Thursday, part of the 2026 UFC season. Both fighters' recent records, methods of victory, and stylistic matchup factors are detailed alongside the prediction below.
FIGHT WINNER
Young Jae Song
Predicted: Decision
59%
Young Jae Song, also known as 'Super Rookie', holds a significant advantage in striking statistics, landing 3.33 significant strikes per minute with 58% accuracy, compared to Jin Aoi's 1.60 SLpM at 29% accuracy. Song also demonstrates superior striking defense, absorbing only 2.33 strikes per minute against Aoi's 5.80. While both fighters are orthodox and show minimal grappling offense, Song's recent form includes a TKO and a KO victory following a decision loss, indicating strong finishing potential and a resurgence in his career as a former AFC bantamweight champion. Jin Aoi's recent split decision loss to ChangMin Yoon and overall lower striking efficiency suggest he may struggle to keep pace with Song's output and accuracy.
SPREAD PREDICTION
Young Jae Song -1.5 Rounds (-1.5)
59%
Given Young Jae Song's superior striking volume and accuracy, combined with his recent stoppage victories, there's a good chance he could win multiple rounds decisively or secure a late finish. Jin Aoi's less effective striking and recent decision loss make it less likely for him to control the fight for all three rounds against Song's offensive pressure.
TOTAL PREDICTION
Over 2.5
58%
While Young Jae Song has shown finishing ability, both fighters have gone the distance in recent bouts, and neither displays significant takedown offense that would typically lead to quick finishes on the ground. The striking defense of both fighters, although Song's is better, suggests the fight has a reasonable chance of extending into the later rounds or going to a decision.
