Favors BradyWatch the first takedown attempt from Brady: whether it lands, and how expensive it looks, tells you the shape of the fight.
Rounds two and three turn on whether Brady keeps landing takedowns at 3.6 per 15 minutes; if Burns stays upright, the striking rates (4.1 vs 3.2 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.
