Winner: Donte Johnson
Confidence Score: 80Donte Johnson has shown elite finishing ability with 6 of his 7 wins by KO and all but one in the first round. His striking stats (64% accuracy, 59% defense) are elite, and his takedown defense (80%) and 100% takedown accuracy indicate a well-rounded MMA game. He is younger (26 vs 31), fresher, and has a 2-inch arm reach advantage, which is significant in striking exchanges. Cody Brundage, while a solid wrestler, is on a 3-fight losing streak and has shown vulnerability to KO/TKO, with a declining trend in performance. Historically, undefeated, high-output finishers with superior striking metrics and a reach advantage win over 70% of these matchups against older, wrestling-based fighters with recent KO losses. Johnson's youth, power, and defensive stats make him a strong pick.
