Sandhagen lands 4.9 significant strikes per minute to Figueiredo’s 2.6: a real volume gap.
Favors SandhagenSandhagen holds a 2-inch reach edge (70" to 68"); Figueiredo has to cross distance to land, and opposite stances open the lead-side lane.
Favors SandhagenFigueiredo has been finished 2 times in the archive and absorbs 3.4 strikes per minute.
Favors SandhagenRead 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: Sandhagen averages 4.9 landed per minute to Figueiredo at 2.6, so Figueiredo needs the counters to land clean (53% 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.
