If there wasn't a 2 year lay off here, then I would agree with these odds. Cody is clearly very good. The way he threw in combination and then stayed composed in the wrestling exchanges with Argueta was impressive. But I don't know what 2 years away will look like for him. He needed surgery, had rehab, said things like he's questioning how he even trains. I imagine he has a full time job and hasn't been locked in while recovering. This fight likely comes down to Cody's offensive wrestling and how “homer” these judges want to be. I assume this is a close fight with some back and forth scrambles. Based off his last fight, I am picking Cody, but no way I can bet on him at -325 after an injury layoff like this.

Aoriqileng

Aoriqileng is a well rounded guy with incredible pressure and pace. He can fight a technical fight or get sucked into a brawl. He uses his striking to setup takedowns and he does have 7 takedowns in the UFC, but he is mostly a striker. He is coming off that 21 second knockout win over Cody Gibson.

Cody Haddon

Cody Haddon is a solid prospect who's lone loss comes to former title challenger Steve Erceg. Cody is a busy fighter who sets an insane pace and doesn't slow down. He has clean boxing where he throws in combinations and does a great job working the body. He's also a slick grappler who is busy on top and bottom. If he is on top he's raining down strikes. He is coming back after a 2 year layoff because of a torn ligament.
