Rafa Garcia · 58%

Moderate lean — this matchup has enough uncertainty to keep confidence in the middle range.

Prediction

Garcia gets the slight edge because his pressure, wrestling and ability to turn fights into physical clinch-heavy rounds give him a reliable way to disrupt Rongzhu's striking. Rongzhu carries the greater finishing threat and can win the fight at range, so Garcia will need to stay disciplined and avoid giving him clean space.
