American southpaw Cody Durden initiated his professional mixed martial arts career in 2016. Representing American Top Team, the flyweight athlete competed across multiple promotions early on, securing the VF Bantamweight title before signing with the UFC. Inside the cage, he is known for a versatile approach that integrates solid wrestling and submission skills with his striking.

For UFC 329, Durden brings a pre-event record of 5-2-1, riding a four-fight winning streak. Following a March 2022 guillotine choke submission defeat to Muhammad Mokaev, he rebounded by stopping JP Buys with punches for a TKO. Since then, he has earned three consecutive unanimous decision victories, defeating Carlos Mota, Charles Johnson, and Jake Hadley.
