Last Opponents
Abus Magomedov is riding some serious momentum heading into Abu Dhabi. The Dagestani just pulled off a slick guillotine from bottom guard against Michal Oleksiejczuk back in June, finishing it in the first round. That bounce back was huge after getting caught in a rear naked choke by Joe Pyfer last October. When Magomedov's on, he's dangerous everywhere with submissions that come out of nowhere. Cam Rowston, the Battle Giraffe, is on an absolute tear right now.
- Magomedov bounced back with first round guillotine in June
- Battle Giraffe riding three straight UFC finishes and decisions
- Dagestani submissions versus Aussie striking volume and pressure
If Magomedov is hunting submissions, rounds one and two are where he finds them, but if Rowston survives the grappling early, his pace and volume could take over late.
Three straight wins, all in the UFC, and he's looked scary doing it. He knocked out Andre Petroski in under three minutes, then finished Cody Brundage with ground and pound in the second round. Most recently, he went the distance against Robert Bryczek in Perth, landing 125 strikes and controlling over 10 minutes. The Aussie's been active and building real momentum. This matchup is wild because both guys can finish fights but in totally different ways.
Magomedov's got that Dagestani grappling pedigree with sneaky submissions, he's hit 4 takedowns and locked up arm triangles and guillotines when you least expect it. Rowston's more of a volume striker who breaks you down with pressure, he's landed over 200 strikes in his last two fights combined. The question is whether Magomedov can get this to the mat or if Rowston keeps it standing and pours on the damage. Rowston's fighting in Abu Dhabi, far from his home crowd in Australia, but he's looked confident everywhere he's fought. Magomedov needs to avoid getting drawn into a striking battle because the Giraffe just keeps coming forward.
