Mansur Abdul-Malik vs Cody Brundage

Mansur Abdul‑Malik squares off with the seasoned wrestler‑striker Cody Brundage.

Core Stats Comparison

Striking Breakdown:

Both fighters share an identical striking accuracy of 54%, but their effectiveness in exchanges tells a different story. Cody Brundage suffers from a negative striking differential—landing just 2.14 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 2.98. Coupled with a low 42% striking defense, this raises some flags.

In contrast, Mansur Abdul-Malik not only matches Brundage’s accuracy but boasts a much higher output at 5.29 significant strikes landed per minute. Even though he absorbs slightly more (3.84 strikes absorbed per minute), his positive strike differential and stronger 49% striking defense clearly tilt the striking edge in his favor.

Grappling Breakdown:

Despite limited data, Abdul-Malik has flashed strong defensive wrestling with an impressive 82% takedown defense. However, his offensive grappling is minimal—he lands only 0.75 takedowns per 15 minutes with a low 33% accuracy and zero submission attempts.

Brundage presents the opposite grappling profile. He lands 2.15 takedowns per 15 minutes at a solid 47% accuracy, and he supplements his attack with 0.9 submission attempts per fight. His 68% takedown defense also gives him respectable defensive capability in grappling exchanges.

Summary:

Mansur Abdul-Malik holds a clear advantage on the feet thanks to his high-volume striking and solid defense, along with an undefeated record. Brundage, however, remains a dangerous test with a wrestling-heavy approach that could dictate the pace if he can close the distance. If Abdul-Malik can continue to stuff takedowns at his current 82% rate, he should control the fight and keep it in his striking wheelhouse.
