Chikadze vs Vallejos Prediction

From the opening bell, expect Vallejos to press forward with aggressive combinations while Chikadze uses range management and precision kicks to establish control. Vallejos' game plan centers on closing distance and overwhelming Chikadze with volume and pace that has produced 11 career knockouts.

Vallejos' explosive power and relentless pressure give him clear paths to victory, especially if he can force Chikadze into firefights where youth and momentum take over. With first-round finishes against both Cam Teague and Seung Woo Choi in his UFC tenure, Vallejos enters riding serious finishing confidence.

Statistically, Vallejos lands 6.28 significant strikes per minute with 51% accuracy while absorbing 5.32 strikes, showing his willingness to trade. His takedown defense sits at 85%, which is a solid clip, though neither fighter is particularly grappling-focused. Vallejos' ability to maintain constant pressure and polish off wounded opponents makes him a dangerous matchup for any featherweight, never mind a battle-work Chikadze.

Chikadze can win by controlling distance with his elite kickboxing fundamentals and forcing Vallejos to fight at range. Landing 3.92 significant strikes per minute, Chikadze thrives on precision over volume, mixing devastating body kicks with calculated counters that have produced signature finishes over Cub Swanson and Edson Barboza.

His 61% striking defense and ability to absorb just 3.50 strikes per minute show his defensive prowess. Chikadze's path requires him to weather Vallejos' early aggression, maintain range discipline, and exploit openings with his technical striking over three rounds.

While Chikadze's technical skills and experience keep this competitive early, Vallejos' youth, momentum, and relentless pace should overwhelm the veteran as the fight progresses. The Argentine's pressure-heavy style is perfectly suited to exploit Chikadze's recent vulnerabilities. And even if Giga's striking defense holds, Vallejos will land the bigger shots.
