UFC on ESPN 72 books late addition on days' notice
A late addition has been tacked on to the bottom of Saturday's UFC event in Las Vegas. Opening the UFC on ESPN 72 prelims at the UFC Apex will be a clash between Cody Brundage and Eric McConico, the promotion recently announced. Although both fighters typically compete at middleweight, the bout is scheduled for three rounds in the light heavyweight division, likely do to the bout's short-notice nature. Brundage (11-6-1 MMA, 5-5-1 UFC) has had wildly mixed results thus far in his UFC tenure. In his past four appearances, Brundage has registered one loss, one no contest, one win, and one draw. The draw was recently made official by Georgia after Brundage successfully appealed his technical decision loss to Mansur-Abdul Malik. McConico (9-3-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) made his debut on short notice in February and was knocked out in Round 2 by Nursulton Ruziboev. The longtime MMA LAB team member had won five fights in a row prior to that. With the addition, the UFC on ESPN 72 lineup includes:

UFC on ESPN 69 results: Mansur Abdul-Malik gets technical decision win after head clash
Mansur Abdul-Malik and Cody Brundage had a slow start at UFC on ESPN 69. Then, in the third round, things went absolutely insane and led to a rare technical decision ending. Abdul-Malik (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Brundage (11-7 MMA, 5-6 UFC) threw caution to the wind in the middleweight bout with incredible brawling punches. Abdul-Malik hurt his opponent and came in for the kill, leading to a clash of heads that dropped Brundage to the mat before the referee stepped in at the 0:36 mark of Round 3 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Advertisement Despite some protest from Brundage about the clash of heads just prior to the stoppage, it was ruled accidental and the fight went to a technical decision with scorecards of 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28 in Abdul-Malik's favor. Check out a replay of the final sequence below (via X): After the result, Abdul-Malik was gracious in victory and said the clash of heads was an accident. "I know it was a decision, but … I'm just happy," Abdul-Malik said in his post-fight interview with Paul Felder. "Cody Brundage made me better. … I didn't see the head butt or whatever it was, but it wasn't intentional."

Cody Brundage not intimidated by unbeaten Mansur Abdul-Malik\u00a0at UFC Atlanta
Cody Brundage not intimidated by unbeaten Mansur Abdul-Malik at UFC Atlanta Show Caption Hide Caption Cody Brundage UFC Atlanta Media Day Cody Brundage speaks to the media at Wednesday's media day for UFC Atlanta. ATLANTA – Cody Brundage met the media Wednesday ahead of his fight at UFC on ESPN 69. Brundage (11-6 MMA, 5-5 UFC) takes on the unbeaten Mansur Abdul-Malik (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) in a middleweight fight on the ESPN main card at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. At media day, Brundage took questions from media members before his fight. Brundage is the second biggest underdog on the card. If he beats Abdul-Malik, who is as much as a 9-1 betting favorite, it will be one of the biggest upsets in UFC history – literally. But the 31-year-old, who has won three of his past four fights, all by first-round knockout, said the odds don't concern him. "I'm definitely the most experienced guy he's ever fought – I have more fights in the UFC than he has in his entire career," Brundage told MMA Junkie. "Experience goes a long way. Yeah, he's tough. The tougher the guys I fight, I think it pulls my skills out. The better the guy I'm fighting, all the pressure, it pulls something out of me that makes me be great. I'm just excited for it. "… He's got a ton of momentum right now, and if you put him in the fire and make him face a little bit of a adversity, he hasn't really been there. He doesn't know how to respond to that, and that's my job Saturday." Check out Brundage's full media day interview in the video above.
