Fans are still talking about Abus Magomedov catching Michal Oleksiejczuk in a guillotine from bottom guard. It happened in Round 1, when the position looked like it might favor the man on top. Now Cam Rowston brings 3 straight UFC wins into UFC 333, and every change of position in this fight could get interesting fast. Magomedov's recent results tell a winding story. He beat Michel Pereira by unanimous decision, lost to Joe Pyfer by rear naked choke, then came back with that submission against Oleksiejczuk.
- Magomedov found a guillotine while stuck on bottom against Oleksiejczuk
- Rowston arrives at UFC 333 with 3 straight UFC wins
- Their identical reach puts more weight on timing and position
Round 2 could open up as both men adjust to the first scrambles and start committing to longer exchanges.
Rowston stopped Andre Petroski and Cody Brundage with punches on the ground before going the distance and beating Robert Bryczek by unanimous decision. He has had to work through different kinds of fights during this run. Both men have 78 inches of reach, so the measurements alone do not hand either one an easy answer at range. Magomedov has found submissions from bottom guard and side control, while Rowston's two recent stoppages came when he was able to land punches on the ground. But check this out: Magomedov's loss to Pyfer also shows how quickly a grappling exchange can turn against him.
Neither man can treat a scramble as a safe place to pause and think. That is what makes this one so fun to watch. When they meet in the middle or hit the mat, pay attention to who controls the next position, not just who starts the exchange.
