Matt Schnell vs Cody Durden quick pick with the Geek

[Music] welcome to another episode of predictions with the geek I'm your host bro power The Geek and the next fight on the card is a flyweight war between Matt Danger Schnell versus Cody Duran all right let's kick things off with Cody Duran a man who fights like his alarm clock never has a snooze button coming in as a minus 535 favorite with a 166 record this guy has six Knockouts five submissions and an unlimited Supply live cardio Cody's the kind of pressure fighter who makes you wonder if he's trying to win a fight or audition for his offensive wrestling is Relentless and even when he's stuck on the bottom he's not there for long like a kid in detention who's always scheming to escape now when it comes to striking Cody's about as technical as a toddler with a crayon he's not coloring inside the lines but he's coming at you with intensity and while his punches might not send you to the shadow realm in one go he hits you so often it starts to feel like a really aggressive massage there's 's one tiny issue submissions Cody's been tapped out four times so if you're a highlevel submission artist you might be licking your chops but give the guy credit he's stubborn Scrappy and the kind of fighter who will keep coming at you even when things look Bleak he's like that broken shopping cart with the one wobbly wheel you think it's done but nope it just keeps coming at you Cody may not be Championship material but he's the guy who shows up to ruin your Saturday night leaving you thinking man that was harder than it needed to be now to Matt Danger Schnell whose nickname sounds like a warning you'd find on a fireworks box he's a plus 400 Underdog with a 16 eight record and he's won three in his last four fights but don't let that fool you he's been in those losses right up until he wasn't much like Cody Matt has That Never Say Die attitude well unless someone catches his chin which has happened five times more on that in a second Matt's hands are fine they're good enough to get the job done but let's not expect poetry in motion his ground game however ever is where things get spicy he's got some solid top pressure and is comfortable throwing up submissions from his back like it's his favorite hobby and if submissions aren't sticking no problem he's back to his feet faster than a cat who accidentally fell off the couch but and here's where things get wobbly Matt's chin has been checked more times than a public library book he's been ko'ed five times and if you leave him in the pocket too long chances are he's going to get his ticket punched the problem he doesn't have that one punch knockout power to make opponents think twice about staying in range he's been rocked before but even then he's like a zombie in a b movie if he's still conscious he's still dangerous just ask sumu deri who had Matt on roller skates before ending up on the wrong side of a reverse Beatdown in a submission if Matt's Eyes Are Open trust me the fight isn't over so who's going to win this fight is a dog fight between two guys who refuse to quit kind of like that one friend who insists they're fine after four tequila shots if we're talking striking Cody's got the edge even if he's more quantity than quality but grappling I'd give it to Matt mostly because of his submission skills and Cody's tendency to leave his neck out like he's offering it on a platter that said Cody is the king of scrambles and has the survival instincts of a guy trying to escape a bear attack he just never gives up honestly the matchmakers did a solid job here this one's going to be a scrap but if I've got to make a call I'm leaning toward Cody Duran although with how even this fight feels it should probably be a pick them if you enjoyed this go ahead and smash that like button and if you haven't subscribed yet what are you waiting for hit that subscribe button and turn on notifications so you don't miss a beat when the next video drops and hey don't be shy drop a comment below and let me know who you got winning this fight let's see who's really got the crystal ball around here until next time
