"Yeah it's how I would want to do it for sure. We have a big team rolling in where it feels like the pressure in fight week. You're a little bit more distracted with the teammates in a good way,"
"There's good banter. There's a lot happening and we don't just go up and sit in a hotel room and think about eating food. We get out, we do some team walks, and we get out into the park in the sun. It's been really nice."
"It's a good matchup. It's just like you're just throwing me into the fire straight away. This is my opportunity to catapult myself into the mix of the middleweight division,"
"I'd much rather do it this way than have to slowly climb my way up in like 3 or 4 fights."
Cam Rowston (12-3) will make his UFC debut at UFC Perth on Saturday, facing seasoned middleweight Andre Petroski. The Australian arrives on the same card as teammates Navajo Stirling and Carlos Ulberg, creating a bustling team environment during fight week. The camp includes team walks, banter and time outdoors rather than isolation in a hotel room. Rowston embraces the uncommon debut matchup against an established opponent as an opportunity to be thrown into the fire and catapult himself into the middleweight division instead of progressing slowly.
