Kody Steele vs Noah Gugnon

💫 Cody Steele and Noa Gunyon are set to clash in a lightweight bout at UFC 333. The American enters the Octagon with an 8-1 record, having most recently submitted Dom Mar Fan with a leg lock. Gunyon, meanwhile, boasts 10 wins and just 2 defeats, riding a six-fight winning streak. In his UFC debut, the Frenchman forced Milos Janicic to tap out in the opening round. Both fighters favour an aggressive approach: six of Steele’s nine bouts and 11 of Gunyon’s 12 professional contests have ended inside the distance.

We recommend looking at the under 2.5 rounds market. In 11 of Gunyon’s 12 pro fights, the winner was decided before the final bell, while Steele has seen six of his nine contests finish early as well. The Frenchman is a threat with his striking power, while the American is always dangerous with submissions—whether it’s a choke or a joint lock. Given both athletes’ attacking potential and the high rate of stoppages in their records, this matchup is likely to be settled before the midway point of the third round.
