Coleman averages 3.9 takedowns per 15 minutes; Frye has stopped 45% of attempts on record.
Favors FryeFrye has finished 100% of archived wins (4 KO/TKO, 0 submission), 4 of them inside round one in the last 4.
Favors Frye1.9 and 2.9 significant strikes per minute: similar output, so accuracy (52% vs 64%) decides the exchanges.
Frye has 4 first-round finishes in the last 4 archived results — the opening minutes carry real finishing risk.
Rounds two and three turn on whether Coleman keeps landing takedowns at 3.9 per 15 minutes; if Frye stays upright, the striking rates (1.9 vs 2.9 landed per minute) take over.
Scheduled for five rounds: 25 minutes changes the pace math, and a fighter who banks two early rounds can afford to manage the fourth.
