We are a few years removed from it, but the way that Bruno Silva lost to Tagir Ulanbekov is likely the same way he loses this fight. If you can trust Cody to do anything, its come forward and agressively wrestle. I think the wrestling pace will be too much and Cody squeezes out a decision win. The only thing preventing me from betting on Cody is his chin. We saw Tagir drop him in his last loss and Mokaev drop him in the loss before that. Bruno certainly has the power to make it happen, even though I don't think he will.

Cody Durden

Cody Durden is a pressure wrestler who averages almost 5 takedowns per fight. He likes to come forward, throw looping power shots and then look for those takedowns. He will chain wrestle and continue diving at legs until he gets it to the ground. While his wrestling can be non-stop pressure, he can be loose on top without much control. He is coming off the loss to Tagir Ulanbekov where he was outwrestled, dropped and then submitted.

Bruno Silva

Bruno Silva is a well rounded guy with solid power, strong wresting and nasty submissions. He's literally good everywhere. He started his UFC career with a bit of a skid but managed to string together 2 KO wins before a 2 year layoff. He came back from that layoff with a submission win over Tyson Nam.
