Predicted: 30-27 Decision

⚡67%

Jiniushiyue, a seasoned Road to UFC veteran with a 16-4-0 record, enters this quarterfinal with significantly more experience against higher-level competition than Kaito Oda. He boasts a 3-0 record since his last Road to UFC loss, demonstrating strong recent form [10]. As a well-rounded fighter with good takedown defense and effective ground and pound, Jiniushiyue has the tools to neutralize Oda's submission wrestling prowess [2, 10]. Kaito Oda, while having a respectable 8-2-0 record and a submission wrestling background, is considered a 'long shot' in this tournament and recently lost to an opponent with a 7-7 record, indicating a potential vulnerability at this level of competition [10].

SPREAD PREDICTION

Jiniushiyue -1.5 Rounds (-1.5)

68%

Considering Jiniushiyue's superior experience and well-rounded skill set, a pick of him winning by at least 1.5 rounds on the judge's scorecards (meaning he wins 2 out of 3 rounds, or secures a finish) is a strong play. His past performances in Road to UFC, including wins by decision and his ability to control fights, suggest he can comfortably win multiple rounds against Kaito Oda [10, 11]. Kaito Oda's 'long shot' status and recent questionable loss further support this spread [10].

TOTAL PREDICTION

Over 2.5

65%

While both fighters have finishing capabilities (Oda with 71% KO/TKO wins and Jiniushiyue with ground and pound), Jiniushiyue's solid takedown defense (75%) and overall durability, combined with Oda's primary style as a submission wrestler, suggest the fight is likely to go the distance [2, 4, 10]. Road to UFC fights often see fighters aiming for decision wins to conserve energy in a tournament format. Therefore, betting over 2.5 rounds holds good value.
