\u201cI feel like we\u2019re fire versus water. He\u2019s very much a come forward, implement pressure, put you in the thick of it kind of guy,\u201d Rowston said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tend to do my best work when I sit back, counter and wait for people to make mistakes. I just feel our styles are going to match up well to create quite an entertaining fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most fighters would think twice before accepting a quick turnaround bout; however, Cam Rowston leapt at the chance to compete in his home country. Coming off a dominant win, where he most likely took little to no damage, has given him unwavering confidence in himself and his ability to get the job done again.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey say most of the injuries occur during a training camp, and the fact that I got to basically half my training camp has been amazing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI halved the risk of getting injured and burning myself out. Albeit, I did put in a solid ten weeks of training for the DWCS camp, and then I just basically picked up from where I left off.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just built on the fitness I already had, and it feels amazing. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve felt as fit as I have for a fight like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Rowston\u2019s focus is fixed solely on Petroski and the battle that awaits this weekend, he took a moment to reflect on his emotional DWCS debut and how much Dana White\u2019s words meant to him and his family.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a really good feeling, I felt like the last three years before that, my career was up and down, not so much with wins or losses, just with uncertainty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just made sure to stay in the gym and be ready to take any fight, and all that preparation over two or three years just came to a climax in the Apex. <\/p>\n
\u201cFighting and then an hour later getting told I\u2019m going to fight in Perth, that was a lot of hard work I felt just came to fruition in that whole hour.\u201d<\/p>\n

The City Kickboxing star could not have asked for a more poetic debut. From a first-round finish on DWCS to a UFC debut on Australian soil \u2013 the hype train has arrived, and he has no plans to stop now.<\/p>\n
\u201cPetroski\u2019s a f***ing animal. He\u2019s been in there before, he knows what to expect, and he knows how to push a hard fight for 15 minutes,\u201d Rowston said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s not going to be easy to put away, so I\u2019m just going to have to, at some point, bite down on the mouthpiece and go at it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis fight is going to be like a pressure cooker. I\u2019m going to marinate him, I\u2019m going to be cooking him for 15 minutes, and when I\u2019m ready to put him on the grill, I\u2019m just going to drop the hammer on him.\u201d<\/p>\n
