CAMP WARFARE INTEL

GNOSIS COMBAT SPORTS / CHICAGO
Chicago, IL
  • Lock-Jaw Blueprint: Working with Coach Kevin on a specialized pressure-heavy system to neutralize Brundage's wrestling base.
  • Midwest Grit: High-volume sparring rounds designed to match the explosive pace of a short-notice stylistic change.
  • Submission Evolution: Following the Dumas win, heavy focus on front-headlock series and "guillotine-proofing" the wrestling entries.
FACTORY X / COLORADO
Englewood, CO (Altitude)
  • Elevation Prep: Cody is utilizing the 5,000ft altitude advantage of the Colorado mountains to ensure he can weather the initial storm.
  • Wrestling Hegemony: Working with Marc Montoya on "grinding" rounds to force Donte into deep, energy-sapping scrambles.
  • Tactical Reset: Addressing the mental fortitude required to stay composed after absorbing early power shots.

TECHNICAL WAR ROOM

DONTE JOHNSON

TACTICAL BREAKDOWN

Johnson has a massive 100% finish rate fueled by his pure KO power. He wants to swarm Brundage early before the wrestling exchanges start.

CODY BRUNDAGE

TACTICAL BREAKDOWN

Brundage will look to take this to the mat to avoid the early striking storm from Johnson. Takedowns are his path to victory.

EXPERT BREAKDOWN & PREDICTION

PREDICTED WINNER: DUNTE JOHNSON

Johnson is an explosive, highly skilled prospect who can strike, wrestle, and grapple effectively. Brundage has a size advantage but is inconsistent and notorious for folding when faced with adversity. Johnson also holds a reach advantage and his relentless pace, power, and willpower are expected to completely overwhelm Brundage, leading to an early finish.
