Im taping rowe/price, i see why Price is the favorite, he was whipping Michel Parreira in a close fight, Rowe is not proven enough to be a favorite. On tape tho, Rowe has some fast hands, his long right hand can pose a problem for Price who has a weak guard, walks forward a lot and takes it on the chin. I see why him and Cerone had that kind of fight. Price is the type to bite down on the mouthpiece, and Rowe is the opposite, he follows that boxing mindset, hit and don't get hit. it's a pick em almost, both guys have questionable chins. Logically from previous history alone Price should win it, I've seen Rowe get wobbled and pushed back by questionable fighters. But Phil has that Jalyn Turner vibe, he's competing even when he isn't doing mma and is looking sharper in every fight. I can see Price losing this fight in a close decision, Phil has some decent defensive moves, he knows how to duck under punches and slip and counter better than Price. Price also has some bad stats against heavy hitters like Neal, Luque , Abdul, and was knocked down by Morono. And then the Alex Oliveira fight was kind of close, Alex touched him up a lot in that fight and he is very similar to Rowe in frame.
If im focusing on value , this is a dog or pass and Phil Rowe is the side. I think he's got a bright future beating decent names, has the body type and proper mma gym to get him there.
