Andre Fili is a 2-1 favorite in this fight and while thats warranted based of his talent, it is not an accurate representation of what he have here. Andre has no chin left what so ever and doesn't wrestle as much as he should. Andre should win this fight because Cub is a 40 year old featherweight, but his decision making could get himself in trouble here. This is likely a fun back and forth fight that goes to a decision.
Cub Swanson
Cub Swanson is a legend and has been a legend for a very long time. He is a creative striker with incredible fight IQ and a ton of fun to watch. He is definitely old and definitely slow but hes still tough. You don't get to legend status without being diverse which means Cub can also wrestle and grapple while averaging one takedown per fight. Cub is the better all around fighter in most matchups but age is bitch. He is coming off the sketchy decision win over Hakeem Dawado that had everyone screaming that judges are crooked.
Andre Fili
Andre Fili is a very well rounded guy and was on the path to be the next big thing coming out of Team Alpha Male but he never lived up to the hype. He is unbelievably talented but his chin won't always be there and neither will his decision making. Style wise Andre is a very well rounded technical brawler with wrestling. He gets hit often which you can see with his negative striking differential and he relies on his chin a little too much. He has solid takedowns and averages over 2 per fight. He is coming off the KO loss to Dan Ige.
