Phillips vs Jourdain fight prediction: Jourdain moneyline (-135)
Charles Jourdain is 4–2 in his last six bouts, with the losses coming by split decision against an opponent with a nine-inch reach advantage and a KO versus one of the hardest hitters at featherweight.
Jourdain was undersized at 145, but he has looked great since dropping to bantamweight, finishing Victor Henry and Davey Grant.
Meanwhile, Kyler Phillips is coming off back-to-back losses to Vinicius Oliveira and a 37-year-old Rob Font.
Phillips is a better hammer than nail, and he struggles against fighters that can pressure and put a pace on him. Jourdain's fluid striking and superior cardio give him the edge.

Phillips vs Jourdain best bet: Jourdain moneyline (-135)
I'll gladly take Jourdain on the moneyline at this price. However, if you're looking for a better price, consider live betting Jourdan after the first round if Phillips comes out strong.
Phillips has a history of fading after fast starts, while Jourdain boasts excellent cardio and the ability to adapt to opponents mid-fight.
