- Brundage has 11 UFC fights worth of experience vs McConico's debut
- 2.31 takedowns per fight average will test McConico's unproven ground game
- Brundage's 72-inch reach provides significant advantage with no reach data for McConico
- Moving up to 205 could benefit Brundage's cardio and durability
Write-up
McConico's complete lack of UFC data makes him a massive unknown, but Brundage's proven UFC experience and well-rounded skillset should carry him through. Brundage's 2.31 takedowns per fight and 50% accuracy will likely dominate a debuting fighter. The southpaw stance of McConico could cause early issues, but Brundage's veteran savvy and grinding style should control the fight after the first round.
