Road to UFC 4 Episodes 5 and 6 Breakdown and Predictions

Welterweight, Jang Yoon Sung (7-1) Vs. Kitt Campbell (15-7)

Jang Yoon Sung

Sung is riding back-to-back solid wins over former UFC fighters, with his only loss coming against top prospect Axel Sola—a fight in which he held his own. At just 22, he’s clearly leveled up recently, though there’s still room for refinement, particularly in his defense and composure.

On the feet, Sung is a mix of the technical and the chaotic. He fires crisp, straight punches but rarely moves his head off the centerline, leaving him open to return fire. He can get drawn into brawls and, while he’s won most of those exchanges so far, he’s taking far too much damage.

Sung’s wrestling gives him a foundation to build on. He’s not especially effective shooting in space, but he’s strong along the cage, changing levels well and chaining takedown attempts together. His takedown defense still needs work, but he’s shown the ability to get back to his feet quickly.

On the ground, he’s more of a ground-and-pound threat than a pure submission artist. He’ll attack subs when available, but his real danger comes from quickly passing guard, advancing to dominant positions, and unleashing strikes from mount or back control. He can rush his work at times, but when he stays patient, he’s a problem.

Overall, Sung’s upside comes down to his age. At 22, the holes in his game feel like opportunities for growth. If he were 30 and already this version of himself, I’d be out, but at this stage, I like where he’s heading.

Kitt Campbell

Campbell is a seasoned veteran of the Australian regional scene with over twenty fights under his belt. While his record includes seven losses, most have come against solid competition, and he’s picked up some respectable wins along the way. It’s been a good career regionally, but that number of setbacks is a strong indicator that a UFC run likely isn’t in the cards.

Offensively, Campbell brings the fight. He’s a high-volume striker who throws from both stances and does a nice job mixing his kicks into his combinations. His sneaky right hand is a key weapon, often used to counter off blind kicks or when retreating. However, defensively, there are clear issues. He tends to stay on the centerline, making him easy to hit, and his takedown defense remains a problem. While he has a decent whizzer, his cage wrestling is shaky, and his grappling defense may be the biggest hole in his game.

All in all, Campbell is an entertaining fighter with an aggressive style, but the defensive gaps and accumulated wear make it unlikely he’ll thrive at the next level.

Prediction: Sung’s clearest path to victory is through wrestling. Campbell has long struggled against strong cage wrestlers, and that’s where Sung thrives. Campbell isn’t dangerous off his back, which plays directly into Sung’s strengths on the mat. On the feet, Campbell has more tools, higher output, and carries the heaviest power Sung has faced so far. While Sung hasn’t been in much danger standing, his defensive lapses could be exposed here. Still, the wrestling and grappling edge tilt this matchup in Sung’s favor, in my opinion.
