Favors AnjosLuque holds a 6-inch reach edge (75.5" to 70"); Anjos has to cross distance to land, and opposite stances open the lead-side lane.
Favors LuqueAnjos has been finished 4 times in the archive and absorbs 3.2 strikes per minute.
Favors LuqueLuque has 2 first-round finishes in the last 5 archived results — the opening minutes carry real finishing risk.
The middle rounds belong to whoever sets the pace: Luque averages 4.7 landed per minute to Anjos at 3.5, so Anjos needs the counters to land clean (47% 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.
