I know the public sentiment on Cody is that he's a mess and he faked a few fouls to get through a fight or two, but the reality is, he's actually a good fighter. First of all, the Abdul Razak Alhassan back of the head shot was 100% real and it absolutely fucked Cody up. Tha Malkoun one is definitely debatable but you know what, instead of dogging the guy, lets give him credit for gaming the system. If Anthony Smith had the same wherewithal when he fought Jon Jones, he would've been the world champion and changed his life forever. so have a few of his fights had some bizarre endings, sure? But he's a good wrestler with great power and he's fighting an Only Fans Stan so Cody is the pick and this may be as clear of a win as when he power bombed Zach Reese
Cody Brundage
Cody Brundage is a heavy handed kill or be killed wrestler. He has no problem coming forward, throwing heavy and then working in a takedown. He does have a pretty high level wrestling background that he brings into the cage. He averages almost 3 takedowns per fight but even dominant wrestling and big power can't always keep him safe. He has questionable fight IQ with some random guillotine pulls but he is always exciting to watch. He is coming off the no contest with Abdul Razak Alhassan where a sub 1 minute foul changed the fight.
Julian Marquez
Julian Marquez is pretty well rounded who's incredibly tough but does fade later in fights. All 9 wins are by stoppage and they are a mixed bag of knockouts and submissions. He doesn't typically work for takedowns and find submissions, but does snatch them up in scrambles. He's very dangerous everywhere but is coming off back to back to back KO losses and a year layoff. His most recent loss was a 20 second KO to Zach Reese
