Prediction, pick for Donte Johnson vs. Cody Brundage at UFC 326

Published:

By: Ryan Wohl

Tonight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Donte Johnson faces Cody Brundage on the UFC 326 Prelims. The UFC 326 Prelims begin at 7:00 p.m. ET and are airing on Paramount+. After scoring a second-round submission in his UFC debut, Johnson will look to stay undefeated against a five-year UFC veteran in Brundage. Brundage has lost two straight, with his last victory coming a year ago against Juliuan Marquez.

Check out my best bet for Donte Johnson vs. Cody Brundage at tonight’s UFC 326 numbered event.

Donte Johnson Round 1 (+100)

Brundage has faced multiple elite prospects in the UFC, including Bo Nickal, Mansur Abdul-Malik, and Cam Rowston. In his UFC career, Brundage is 5-7-1 in his 13 fights in the UFC and is in desperate need of a victory to continue competing in the top MMA promotion. He has a tough challenge in front of him, as Johnson is an impressive prospect with a 7-0 record with seven finishes.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Johnson is a massive -850 favorite in this matchup while Brundage is the underdog at +575. Johnson is -350 to win this bout via submission or knockout, which you don’t see very often in the UFC. Since six of his seven victories in his career have come in the first round, my favorite play is taking Johnson to beat Brundage in the first five minutes of this fight at +100.
