George Staines

Head-to-head result: Staines out-landed Abushaar 10-4 in significant strikes and scored 3 takedowns to 0

Staines is unbeaten at 9-0-0 and already beat Abushaar on 2026-09-29, landing 3 takedowns and 10 significant strikes while Abushaar managed 4 significant strikes with 0 takedowns and no control time. Staines' control time in that win was brief (0:29), so the takedowns were more about disruption than sustained grappling, but he still won the exchanges. Abushaar is experienced at 7-2-0 with recent wins over Alejandro Quero and Scottie Stockman, yet he offered nothing offensively on the mat in the head-to-head. The prior result plus Staines' unbeaten run (wins over Abushaar, Conor McCarthy, Marcelo Marques) makes him the side.
