Check out my best bet for Cub Swanson vs. Nate Landwehr at UFC 327 in Miami, Florida.
Nate Landwehr Moneyline (-105)
Swanson is coming off a 15-month layoff, as he last beat Billy Quarantillo in December 2024. The last time that Swanson won two consecutive bouts was in December 2020. Throughout his storied career, Swanson has fought many tough opponents and has wins over Charles Oliveira, Dustin Poirier, and Jeremy Stephens.
In this matchup, Landwehr is slightly taller (5’9″ vs. 5’8″) with a two-inch edge in standing reach (72″ vs. 70″). Landwehr averages 0.84 more significant strikes per minute, while Swanson is more accurate. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Swanson is a -115 favorite with Landwehr being the underdog at -105.
Although this contest was built around Swanson, as it is the final fight of his career, this matchup favors Landwehr. That is because Swanson hasn’t been active, and although Landwehr is reckless at times, he still is a skilled striker. Landwehr fights at such a quick pace, unleashing plenty of big punches, and I don’t believe Swanson will be able to keep up.
