While Cody Brundage may never rise to the contender level, he can certainly deepen the much-needed Ultimate Fighting Championship middle class.
The 30-year-old Dana White’s Contender Series alum will seek his third win in four outings when he faces Abdul Razak Alhassan in a UFC on ESPN 59 middleweight feature this Saturday at Ball Arena in Denver. Brundage has put together a 4-5 record since he joined the UFC roster almost three years ago. He last competed at UFC 300, where he tapped to a rear-naked choke from undefeated super prospect Bo Nickal in the second round of their April 13 altercation.
