Cong lands 6.2 significant strikes per minute to Silva’s 4.8: a real volume gap.
Favors CongCong has been finished 1 time in the archive and absorbs 2.2 strikes per minute; Silva has never been stopped in the stored record.
Favors SilvaRead the first two minutes for who is willing to lead and who is countering; the stored numbers do not flag a lopsided early-round finisher.
The middle rounds belong to whoever sets the pace: Cong averages 6.2 landed per minute to Silva at 4.8, so Silva needs the counters to land clean (45% accuracy on record).
Scheduled for five rounds: 25 minutes changes the pace math, and a fighter who banks two early rounds can afford to manage the fourth.
Talbott carries the higher measured striking pace; Figueiredo has the deeper book of archived tape.
Green has been stopped before in the archive; Green has the deeper book of archived tape.
Williams has 2 first-round finishes in the last 5 archived results — the opening minutes carry real finishing risk.
