Cody Brundage vs Eric McConico - AI generated fight pick

Cody Brundage has a significant advantage in both UFC experience and grappling. He has a solid wrestling base, as evidenced by a 48% takedown accuracy and 69% takedown defense, compared to Eric McConico's 0% in both takedown accuracy and defense. Brundage also has a much higher significant strike accuracy (55% vs 38%) and more first round finishes (7 vs 4), showing he can start fast and capitalize on early opportunities. While McConico has a reach advantage and is physically larger, his UFC debut ended in a KO loss and his defensive grappling is largely untested at this level. Historically, fighters with Brundage's blend of wrestling and finishing ability, especially with more UFC experience and at a younger age, have a higher win rate in these matchups. Brundage's ability to mix in takedowns and control position should neutralize McConico's reach and striking threat.
