Cam Rowston finished Brandon Holmes inside the first round on Dana White's Contender Series and immediately secured a UFC debut slot for UFC Perth. Rowston intends to make his debut on home soil in Australia, expecting strong support from friends and family. He envisions a bloody, three-round war that ends in a split-decision victory and values the anticipation of a hard-fought win. Rowston turned away from a partying lifestyle in his early 20s after training with UFC-experienced teammates Richie Walsh and Brendan O'Reilly, which convinced him he could pursue MMA professionally.
I really wanted to make my UFC debut on home soil in Australia. I've got friends in Sydney, family all over Australia, and I know they're going to turn up for this one,
In my perfect world, I have a three-round war, blood everywhere, cuts, and I'm standing there with the referee, and he calls it and it's a split decision, I get my hand raised,
It's the best feeling ever. The anticipation of winning, it's like, that's what I live for.
'A rising tide floats all boats, and I was just getting better and better. They were taking me down all the time, and then eventually they stopped taking me down so much. I started hitting them a little bit more, they were hitting me a little bit less.'
