UFC bantamweight’s: Kyler Phillips vs Cameron Else

The Matrix’ Phillips lives up to his moniker as he comes into the bout with exceptionally agile and elusive movement. He burst onto the scene at Dana White’s Contender Series, but bounced around outside the UFC despite winning the bout. He made his first promotional appearance earlier this year and earned a solid decision win over Gabriel Silva.

The English fighter, Cameron Else is on a six-fight winning streak and has now found himself on a UFC main card. Moreover, his streak includes six finishes, all coming in a variety of different ways. Given his versatility, it’s easy to see why the promotion has afforded him the opportunity to make a splash in his debut.

14 fights into his career, Cameron hasn’t seen the scorecards and he will undoubtedly prefer to keep it that way. Kyler Phillips enters the bout with a certain level of inexperience that may be costly against a finisher. What’s more, he has shown certain high-level transitions on the ground in his most recent outing. ‘The Matrix’s’ best shot at adding another win on his record would be to stay within the pocket.

Regardless of the ground aspect, every fight starts standing up and Else’s power is formidable at bantamweight. He chases the finish from the get-go and, more often than not, finds a way to get out on top.
