UFC betting online: In a fight that should be a heavyweight barnburner, the hard-hitting Derrick Lewis (12-3, 11 KOs, 1 SUB) will meet the aggressive Shawn Jordan (17-6, 13 KOs, 3 SUBs) at UFC Fight Night 68.
The big men will meet on the prelims of a card headlined by middleweights Dan Henderson and Tim Boetsch. While neither Lewis or Jordan are anywhere near the top-15, their go-for-broke style should be crowd-pleasing nonetheless.
Check Bookmaker’s Lewis-Jordan UFC odds for the latest money lines on each fighter – this fight will probably be close to a pick’em. Both are low-level heavyweights that kept on the roster because of the paper thin depth in the UFC heavyweight division. In this three-round affair, I’d think the over/under would be set at 1.5 rounds, given how both men throw caution to the wind.
Shawn Jordan is on a modest two-fight winning streak, with wins over Jack May and Jared Cannonier. However, he’s lost to every top-15 fighter he’s faced, getting knocked out by Gabriel Gonzaga and Matt Mitrione and losing a decision to Cheick Kongo. He does train with American Top Team, so you know that he’s getting some top-notch instruction.
Derrick Lewis is 3-1 in the UFC, with wins over inconsequential names such as Jack May, Ruan Potts and Carlos Filho. His only top-15 opponent thus far has been Matt Mitrione, and Lewis was knocked out in the first round. In 15 fights, only two have gone to the final bell. With Lewis, you know you’re going to see a hard-charging heavyweight who swings for the fences.
If you bet with Bookmaker’s Lewis-Jordan UFC odds, I’d lean towards betting on Jordan. While this is an extremely unpredictable fight, Jordan has shown that he’s willing to be patient, which is more than can be said for Lewis. While Jordan is the physically smaller fighter, if he can weather the early storm, he should be able to pick apart a gassed Lewis. The pick here is Jordan to win by KO in the second round.
