GABRIEL GREEN VS PHILIP ROWE LOWDOWN
Gabriel Green (9-3) made his UFC debut back in May and got his six-fight win streak snapped. However, he stepped up on short notice to replace Kevin Holland and fight Daniel Rodriguez who was riding his own seven-fight win streak at the time and coming off a huge submission win over UFC veteran Tim Means. The odds were stacked against him, but he gave a good account of himself taking Rodriguez to a decision.
It is Philip Rowe’s (7-2) turn to make his debut and see if he can extend his winning streak into the UFC. After losing his first two pro fights, he has gone on to win and finish every fight since and he is coming off a huge win on the Contender Series. Although it was 18 months ago, it was a knockout over Leon Shahbazyan who Green also knocked out back in 2017.
GABRIEL GREEN VS PHILIP ROWE PREDICTION
Stylistically, this should be a very exciting fight. They have finished every fight they have won in a variety of ways and are expected to bring the heat and slug it out on the feet.
Rowe will boast the range with a five-inch height and seven-inch reach advantage. He is the bigger man and his reach will be important in keeping Green at a distance. Rodriguez is extremely dangerous but Green caused a lot of problems being aggressive and stepping into range.
They have both been inactive in the last couple years but that short notice UFC fight will be priceless experience for Green and it gives him a slight edge, but this is tough to call.
