Brandon Moreno · 60%
Moderate lean — this matchup has enough uncertainty to keep confidence in the middle range.
Prediction
Moreno gets a moderate lean because of his championship-level experience, pace and ability to stay functional through long scrambles. Morales is a legitimate submission threat and can make the grappling exchanges dangerous, but Moreno has more proven ways to win minutes if the fight moves between striking and wrestling.
