NATE LANDWEHR VS DAVID ONAMA LOWDOWN
Nate Landwehr (15-4) has had more fights fall through than actual appearances in the octagon. After submitting Ludovit Klein (2021) which will continue to age well, Lerone Murphy could not meet him at UFC on ESPN 33 and David Onama stepped up to replace him, but then Landwehr had to pull out himself. He was then scheduled to fight Zubaira Tukhugov last week at UFC Vegas 59 with visa issues forcing the Russian to stay at home, but fortunately, Onama has stepped up again to fill the void.
David Onama (10-1) is making a habit of stepping up on short notice. He did for his debut taking on Mason Jones up at lightweight and gave a good account of himself but lost a unanimous decision. He responded with a brilliant TKO over Gabriel Benitez back in February and then had Austin Lingo lined up at UFC Vegas 58 who pulled out giving Garrett Armfield the opportunity to make his debut and get submitted. A month later, he will finally meet his man.
NATE LANDWEHR VS DAVID ONAMA PREDICTION
We are very grateful this matchup has been rearranged as they are both very exciting to watch. Landwehr is a wildman and an aggressive grappler whereas Onama is more composed with a very high ceiling and well-rounded skillset.
Onama is the more technical fighter, but Landwehr is going to bring a furious pace for three rounds. If he works on his defence and does not take many big shots, he can drag Onama into deep waters with his high output mixing in takedowns and clinch work.
However, that defence is a real worry when taking on someone with the power of Onama. He eats nearly six significant strikes per minute and if he eats that many, he will going to sleep. If he adopts a grappling heavy game plan, we can see him grinding out a decision, but we expect his ego to take over and brawl with Onama.
There is a lot of value on Landwehr considering the odds, but we are backing Onama to find the knockout or earn a decision.
