AUSTIN HUBBARD VS DAKOTA BUSH LOWDOWN
Austin Hubbard (12-5) walks out for his sixth UFC fight and is 2-3 but he has fought killers already. He fought Davi Ramos on his debut losing a unanimous decision. Responded with a unanimous decision of his own against Kyle Prepolec and was rewarded with a fight against the undefeated Olympic wrestler Mark Madsen losing another unanimous decision. He bounced back again by putting a beating on Max Rohskopf forcing him to quit but then got handed the up-and-coming prospect Joe Solecki losing via submission.
One debutant gets traded for another after Natan Levy got injured a week before the fight. Dakota Bush (8-2) steps up to replace him and is coming into the fight with two great wins for the Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA). His most recent was only in January knocking out Austin Clem which came after submitting Brian De Rosario.
AUSTIN HUBBARD VS DAKOTA BUSH PREDICTION
Hubbard will be the favourite but debutants taking a fight on short notice are always dangerous as they have nothing to lose. Also, Bush has been picking up wins for LFA and his only losses have come to Jaleel Willis (2019) and Bryce Logan (2018) who are both solid fighters so you cannot count him out.
They match up similarly physically with Bush having a slight two-inch reach advantage, but Hubbard will have the edge on the feet.
Hubbard’s grappling continues to improve at Elevation Fight Team, but Bush is a very strong wrestler and hunts the back like a predator. We back Hubbard’s experience and skills on the feet to get the job done but we can easily see Bush's wrestling earning a decision or setting up a submission.
