"Credit to Ewing for stepping in on just two days' notice against a guy most are avoiding. He literally just fought on the seventh, so this is a true quick turnaround. And shout out to the UFC: they could've thrown in some short-notice sacrificial lamb, but instead they brought in the A1 Combat champ, a legitimately fun fighter to watch."
"Ewing started his pro career 0-2 and has since rattled off eight straight wins. He's coming off a first-round knockout over Contender Series alum Billy Brand. He's primarily a striker, someone you'll almost never see initiate a takedown- and with how sharp his striking is, there's not much reason for him to wrestle offensively. The real questions are in his wrestling and grappling defense."
Ethan Ewing replaced Cody Haddon on the UFC 322 preliminary card after Haddon withdrew with an injury, and the bout moved up to featherweight. Ewing is a 27-year-old, five-foot-eight fighter from Anaheim Hills who trains out of CSW Training Center and holds an 8-2 pro record with six KOs and one submission. He recently scored a first-round knockout over Contender Series alum Billy Brand and has won eight straight fights after starting 0-2. Ewing is a technical, aggressive striker who rarely initiates takedowns. Early defensive wrestling shows underhook work, circling, and composure, but he can struggle on re-shots and extended sequences. His striking is layered and dangerous, though he can be vulnerable in pocket exchanges.
