BRODY McDOUGAL – A CONFIDENT NEW HAMPSHIRE WELTERWEIGHT

By: Thomas Vickers (Combat Sports Journalist)

“I’d love to get my Cage Titans belt next but I really don’t care man.  I just want to fight and show everybody how great Nostros MMA is.  I’m standing here chin up, chest out saying I’m the baddest dude at 170 lbs.  I hold the keys somebody come try and fucking take them!” – BRODY McDOUGAL

BRODY “The American Psycho” McDOUGAL fights out of New Hampshire and trains under Nostos MMA.  McDougal burst onto the amateur MMA scene in June of 2021 with a debut victory via second round rear naked choke submission at WCFL 29 (World Class Fight League).  Brody came into the sport of MMA a tough kid with a hockey background.  He was brought to amateur MMA by his love for the sport and the desire to prove himself.  Before Brody entered under the guidance of NOSTROS MMA he had zero martial arts experience.  Once under Nostros MMA he rapidly began consuming knowledge in all aspects of the fight game.  McDougal moved on to gain a win in a Muay Thai bout at Cage Titans 52 in April of 2022 against Mark Murphy via KO/TKO in round two.  Brody won his second amateur MMA outing with a smashing second round KO/TKO finish over Ben Bratko in July of 2022 at Cage Titans 54.

In January of 2023 McDougal won the vacant Reality Fighting Welterweight Championship Title with an impressive first round armbar submission versus Nuridiin Abrar (3-2). Against Abrar, McDougal demonstrated descent movement in standup.  He showed he has a nice left jab, a clean straight right, and that he can be extremely aggressive with both his fists and his feet.  After the title match McDougal honored the man he attributes to his success, his coach Devin Powell with the championship belt.  “The reason I still step into the cage to this day is to just prove to myself I am who I believe I am,” explained McDougal. 

The twenty-six year old combatant has put together an attractive three fight winning streak as an amateur in MMA.  Brody “The American Psycho” McDougal is undefeated at (3-0).  Brody believes he is a problem for everyone in the 170 LBS division.  “When somebody signs there name on a contract saying they think they are better than me, I take it personally and will do everything in my power to crush them,” states the New Hampshire welterweight.  On a regional amateur level McDougal will bring serious excitement into the steel cage and will no doubt be a strong challenge for most every regional welterweight.  At a height of 6’2” McDougal is a tall and rangy welterweight.  His skill set will most surely continue to grow with each bout. 

When I look at McDougal I see an amateur New Hampshire welterweight with major league confidence, a fighter with a dangerous straight right hand, and a man on a mission.  In closing I asked Brody McDougal what’s next for “The American Psycho”.  His reply, “Anybody. I’d love to get my Cage Titans belt next but I really don’t care man.  I just want to fight and show everybody how great Nostros MMA is.  I’m standing here chin up, chest out saying I’m the baddest dude at 170 lbs.  I hold the keys somebody come try and fucking take them!”
