Cody Haddon

frames it as a well-rounded fighter against a one-dimensional striker and sides with the more complete skill set, but uses a soft qualifier (probably) on the win itself

A well-rounded fighter overall. On the feet he's a solid striker, working the midsection, changing levels inside combinations, and keeping steady output including a leg kick. His grappling is just as solid: a good scrambler who mixes in takedowns, stays busy in ground-and-pound, and refuses to accept bottom position, with good submission defense and the cardio to go a full three rounds.

Says outright he is 'struggling to pick' this one and can't find a reason to lean strongly, settling on Wellmaker by 'the slightest amount' before closing with the root-beer idiom about watching instead of predicting.

A solid, well-rounded striker who works the body well, changes levels inside his combinations, carries good head movement and a clean jab, likes the leg kick, and has the cardio to push pace for as many rounds as needed. His grappling is solid too: good takedowns, good scrambles, strong transitions, high-volume ground-and-pound rather than token shots, good submission defense, and a refusal to stay on bottom. He is taking this fight on roughly four weeks' notice, which the analyst does not consider a significant problem for him.

He says Haddon's striking is clearly better and his cardio lets him wear Argueta down over the fight, predicting a late finish or a comfortable cruise; no hedge on the outcome itself.

UFC debutant the analyst calls a real-deal prospect: solid striking with good combinations, head movement, a clean jab, heavy volume and nice leg kicks, plus a scrambling grappling game that refuses bottom position and shows very good submission defense alongside good takedowns and ground-and-pound volume. Cardio is flagged as a standout asset.
