The evidence points to a grappling gap (5.8 vs 1 takedowns per 15) and a volume gap (2.5 vs 7.9 strikes per minute) and a finishing gap (100% vs 0% of archived wins); that is the read to test in the first five minutes.

Favors KropschotKlein has been finished 2 times in the archive and absorbs 3.4 strikes per minute.
Favors KropschotWatch the first takedown attempt from Klein: whether it lands, and how expensive it looks, tells you the shape of the fight.
Rounds two and three turn on whether Klein keeps landing takedowns at 5.8 per 15 minutes; if Kropschot stays upright, the striking rates (2.5 vs 7.9 landed per minute) take over.
Three rounds only: a slow first round is expensive, and round three is often fought by whoever has the gas tank and the lead on the cards.
Read 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.
