Cam Rowston
Battle Giraffe
Australia
Remains perfect in UFC
Rowston defeated Robert Bryczek via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Perth, Australia.
ANALYSIS
This was arguably Rowston's most impressive performance to date, which is saying something considering he knocked out both Cody Brundage and Andre Petroski to begin his UFC career. He largely leaned on his wrestling, turning three successful takedowns into 10:10 worth of control time and a dominant unanimous decision win. Rowston's power is legitimate, so if these advances in his grappling game are even somewhat sticky, he projects to have some legitimate upside in a middleweight division that is lacking challengers in the back half of the top-10.

Knockout win as hefty favorite
Rowston defeated Cody Brundage via TKO (punches) at 4:08 of Round 2 at UFC 325 on Saturday in Sydney, Australia.
ANALYSIS
He probably ate a few too many shots on the feet than he would have preferred, but it ended up being the expected easy win for Rowston as a -360 favorite. Cam was the far more technical striker and was able to pick Brundage apart at a distance. His victory was aided by the fact his opponent refused to wrestle, which was seemingly his only path to victory. Rowston has picked up back-to-back knockout victories (Brundage, Andre Petroski) since officially joining the UFC roster in September. There's a 100 percent chance his next fight will be against a better opponent.

Shines in home country debut
Rowston defeated Andre Petroski via TKO (punches) at 2:41 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Perth, Australia.
ANALYSIS
Rowston earned his UFC opportunity with a first-round knockout win on Dana White's Contender Series (the second time he appeared on the show) on August 21. A little over a month later, he made his official company debut and dispatched a tenured veteran in Petroski in under three minutes. All it took was a short left hook and some follow-up shots. There's a strong possibility this will go down as Rowston's high point with the UFC, but that's fine. He has an impressive stoppage victory in his home country on his resume.
