Why Cody Brundage Will Win

• Last Fight: (L) Eric McConico – S DEC
• Last 5: 1-2-1-1
• Finishes: 6 KO/TKO, 3 SUB

Things have not been in a position to fall into place for Cody Brundage over his last five appearances, notching a ‘No Contest, draw, and overturned ruling all throughout the last two years. He definitely possesses the skill set to be a dangerous fighter inside this Middleweight Division, but he hasn’t been in a position to put together a whole performance in quite a while. Expect the unexpected as the previous few fights have left fans scratching their heads.

Brundage owns a really extensive wrestling background and does an incredible job of ending the takedown when he’s in a position to grab a hold of a single leg. He’s grappling with a 46% takedown accuracy and defends 68% of the takedowns coming his way, so expect Brundage to completely be in charge of the wrestling exchanges throughout this fight. His opponent is not nearly as comfortable on the bottom and will struggle off his back if Brundage is in a position to keep him there.

Still, Rowston has notched quite a few submissions leading into his UFC profession and given his advantage in the peak and reach, Brundage may not wish to risk get his head or limbs caught within the guard of Rowston. As a substitute, Brundage should look to maintain his posture and throw as often as possible, given the possibilities could also be hard to come back by.

Why Cam Rowston Will Win

• Last Fight: (W) Andre Petroski – TKO (elbows from mount, R1)
• Last 5: 5-0
• Finishes: 5 KO/TKO, 7 SUB

Cam Rowston was tasked with an experienced veteran in Andre Petroski for his UFC arrival, to which he stunned the bottom by dismantling his opponent in the primary round. Fighting an analogous grappling-heavy opponent in Petroski, Rowston didn’t panic and allowed his opponent to make mistakes while reversing position and ending the fight along with his elbows. Expect an analogous lead to this bout if Brundage becomes too eager in shooting takedowns.

Rowston can have three inches in height and 6 inches in reach to work with, playing right into his skill set along with his rangy striking. Rowston makes great use of the teep kick to maintain his opponent at distance, mixing intermittent calf shots to immobilize his opponent. From there, Rowston is quick to search out the finish as he’s typically in a position to find mount and finish the fight from there.

Rowston showed great poise in defeating a seasoned fighter during his debut and he’ll need to indicate more of the identical composure against a dangerous Cody Brundage. In remaining patient, Rowston can avoid the counter shots from Brundage while slipping out of range. This could keep his opponent reaching and whiffing on punches, allowing Rowston to capitalize with straight jabs and looping hooks.

Final Cody Brundage-Cam Rowston Prediction & Pick

This must be a fun matchup between two differing styles because the wrestler Cody Brundage meets a kickboxing specialist in Cam Rowston. Despite his work over at City Kickboxing, Rowston has shown an incredible ability to notch submissions during his run on the regional circuit, finding sneaky submissions and ending opponents with elbows from the mount.

Cody Brundage must be coming into this fight motivated for a win, however it’s been tough backing him with any form of confidence given the outcomes of his recent fights. Unless he can consistently put Rowston on the canvas and land meaningful ground-and-pound, I do not see a scenario where Rowston is careless enough to get caught on the feet by Brundage.

For our final prediction, we’ll must side with the betting favorite in Cam Rowston as his rangy striking will probably be an excessive amount of for Brundage to handle. Watch his knees during takedown entries as he may even see a fast opening to finish this fight.

Final Cody Brundage-Cam Rowston Prediction & Pick: Cam Rowston (-360); OVER 1.5 Rounds (-110)
