Tale of the Tape

Swanson has a record of 25-7 coming into this game. This includes reasonable knockout victories, but most of his wins have been through decisions. Five out of his seven defeats have been through submissions. Ortega is unbeaten with a record of 12-0. Even though only two of his victories have been to the courts, the featherweight fighter from Torrance is a formidable opponent.

Swanson vs Ortega Fight Preview

Strengths

The way in which Swanson has recovered in a stunning fashion from the losses against Max Holloway and Frankie Edgar shows his quality. He has been able to win his last four fights since 2016. Ortega has been able to pick up wins in all of his fights.

Weaknesses

The lack of a strong punching power is one of the disadvantages for Swanson, as he has only managed a 32% knockout victory in his long career. Even though Ortega has been able to avoid defeat throughout his career, he comes on the back of a disappointing run of fights without a knockout victory. Only two of his 12 victories have been through a knockout.

Swanson vs Ortega Prediction

The expectation for this fight is a victory for Ortega, as Swanson is coming up against an unbeaten fighter. The experience and the ability to move around the ring will be at its best for the 35-year-old, but that might not be enough. Ortega does not have the punching power required to knockout Swanson, who has lost only one fight through a knockout. However, Ortega boasts an ace up his sleeve that Swanson might not know about, otherwise, he wouldn't have so many fights won without even a loss. Now let's see the latest MMA odds.

Swanson vs Ortega Betting Tips

There has been a decent occurrence of fights with knockout victories for Swanson, but this fight is expected to be much tougher than his recent contests. Ortega has been unbeaten in his career so far. Even though this may be one of his biggest tests, Swanson is unlikely to prevail in the ring. Ortega is a very agile player and even though Swanson has a decent record with regard to knockouts, this game may be hard to separate. Ortega will be looking to preserve his unbeaten record, while Swanson has been on a run of four consecutive victories by a unanimous decision. Even though the fight is quite balanced in the eyes of bookmakers, a bet on Ortega's victory is the healthiest pick to do if you're a conservative punter.

The majority of Ortega's fights have ended in over 2.5 rounds, while Swanson is also not a fighter who usually ends his fights quickly. Since we are dealing with two fighters who are not passionate about KOs, we're going to back this market as even the bookmakers such as Betfair find it great. This pick is excellent for those who are looking for lower risks, as all stats indicate that we will most likely see over 2.5 rounds.
