Claim Your Welcome Bonus!Cub Swanson
Legendary brawler and UFC Hall of Fame member Cub Swanson continues to perform in the world's strongest promotion. The Killer is already 39 years old, and his career is nearing sunset, but he remains competitive and often defeats opponents.
But lately, that's happening less and less. Cub has had three fights in the last two years, and he has only been able to get one win. Swanson's bouts often turn out to be highly emotional, which the fans have come to love about the uncompromising fighter.
The American prefers to fight from the standing, which only adds entertainment to his fights.
Hakeem Dawodu
The Canadian fighter is a model of pragmatism and a real decision-maker. Dawodu has been competing in the UFC since 2018 and has had nine fights (six wins and three losses), which only twice ended early.
Although competitive, Hakeem is an average performer who does not claim championship laurels. In his last fight, the Canadian lost a decision to Julian Erosa.
Expert Betting Tips
Cub Swanson is an experienced fighter. He knows his body is already tired, so I'm sure he'll try to force things and push his own pace. Dawodu isn't used to rushing, but he'll be caught up in Swanson's dangerous game and will be forced into a perilous exchange of punches.
Cub comes in as an underdog, which is understandable, and he'll just have to take his chances, as Hakeem is unlikely to have any trouble with the veteran at a distance.
