I hate this Holland vs JDM fight betting wise. Fight wise sure it's awesome, but man .... JDM is giving up like 8 inches in reach and like 4 inches in height. Holland might have terrible fight IQ, but JDM has no takedowns and walks people down. If Holland could literally jab for 15 minutes and focus on lateral movement he could win this easily. With the previous comments it is true that Holland leaves his body open when he gets in striking battles and JDM didn't look as good as he should have in the last fight. Holland hasn't even been finished with strikes yet... If this was a 5 rd main I think JDM, but 3 rd fight I think I pick Holland.

@Rah123 
Fewer weapons to win with means he'll be pigeon holed to his walk down style. ANYONE can beat Holland with decent takedowns.
Don't worry buddy I'll walk you through it ;)

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 395 Points   |   Tied for 3504th

Campbell vs. Reyes
Charlie Campbell, TKO, R2
I like Campbell here, but its not to be noted that he's a debutant and on short notice so this could get sketchy. 6 year lay off is nuts though.

Knutsson vs. Mann
Josefine Knutsson, TKO, R2
I'll take the Swedish fighter with the superior skills, high intensity at face-offs leans me towards the ITD prop.

I think Holland will be ahead in rd 1, but Jack will adjust and take the lead from the second. 

The main problem is the reach advantage that favors Holland, but he doesn't have the best fighting IQ though, so who knows...

If Jack somehow ends up finishing him, then he's ready for the best the division has to offer.

@Latrel Dog 
I agree. This could be considered a litmus test for Jack. If he wins against Holland, he'll probably do well moving forward in the division. Holland has fought decent competition and is a tough outing for everyone.

Ok children, here is your MMA lesson for the day.

I see a lot of ignorant takes here so please listen. And learn. 

Hollands advantages
1. Length (not as useful at boxing range)
2. Good chin (No use against body shots)

Jacks advantages
1. Great boxing (with real power and body shots)
2. Under rated wrestling 
3. Very under rated defensive grappling 
4. Good fight IQ

Also please consider
1. Jacks last match, multiple opponent changes on short notice
2. Back to back weight cuts
3. Different tume zone

Holland - look at his recent wins, all washed or grapplers with bad striking.

I am trying to save you money. You're welcome

Qualified New Predictions

Predictions: 7 of 10 Winners, 2 Perfect, 400 Points   |   Tied for 3423rd

Kopylov vs. Fremd
I have got Roman Kopylov at -340. He has a zippy overhand. Kopylov must maintain the counteragent. Clearly!

Zellhuber vs. Giagos
I have a crush on Daniel Zellhuber at -290. He has a brilliant quivering palm death touch. Zellhuber must zonk the previous pitfalls. No question!

Padilla vs. Nelson
I am sniffing Fernando Padilla at -250. He has a kosher inverted atomic drop. Padilla won't destroy the crowd noise.

Knutsson vs. Mann
I like Josefine Knutsson at -700. She has a jaunty reverse frankensteiner. Knutsson must leverage the unthinkable.

Campbell vs. Reyes
I am sticking with Charlie Campbell at -500. He has a casual character. Campbell won't hamper the cage.

Godinez vs. Reed
I favor Lupita Godinez at -440. She has a maladapted full guard and an eccentric dim mak. Godinez will seize the cycle.

Grasso vs. Shevchenko II
I believe in Valentina Shevchenko at -175. She has a lascivious Samoan driver. Shevchenko isn't about to gargle the enemy.

Cháirez vs. Lacerda
I fancy Edgar Cháirez at -225. He has a maladapted five point palm exploding heart technique. Cháirez is about to flaunt the victory.

Holland vs. Maddalena
I have got Jack Della Maddalena at -150. He has an ironic dragon sleeper and a casual spinning back fist and also a talented sprawl. Maddalena could shatter the opposing forces.

Rosas Jr. vs. Mitchell
I select Raul Rosas Jr. at -750. He has a weak side kick to the throat. Rosas Jr. should kick the cycle.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 515 Points   |   Tied for 1000th

Grasso vs. Shevchenko II
Alexa Grasso, DEC
Elephant in the room, Val is aging, she is 35 and she may still be able to pull out a victory, but I believe Grasso has definitely been working her tdd and on the feet Grasso should edge her over 5 rounds

Holland vs. Maddalena
Kevin Holland, SUB, R2
Little confidence in this pick as I think this is very 50/50, but I cannot stop envisioning a Holland D'arce here

Rosas Jr. vs. Mitchell
Raul Rosas Jr., SUB, R1
Didn't Mitchell get ragdolled by Saaiman? Rosas probably subs him easy but god knows he ain't winning on the feet

Zellhuber vs. Giagos
Daniel Zellhuber, TKO, R1
I think Zellhuber gets his first UFC finish here, but probably will be a decision

Padilla vs. Nelson
Fernando Padilla, DEC
Kyle Nelson is a solid fighter, I think Padilla messes him up over 3 rounds though

Godinez vs. Reed
Lupita Godinez, DEC
I'm thinking Loopy will finish here but hard to predict it when she never does, 30-27 Loopy

Kopylov vs. Fremd
Roman Kopylov, TKO, R2
I think Kopylov continues his KO streak to 4, Fremd is not really a bum but he just won't stand a chance on the feet, could make it the distance but I don't see a Fremd victory

Cháirez vs. Lacerda
Edgar Cháirez, SUB, R1
Lacerda sucks, Chairez really gave Taira a fight on short notice I believe, he should run straight through him

Cortez vs. Jasudavicius
Tracy Cortez, DEC
JJ has been looking better recently but I believe Tracy is the better fighter and will win a split or UD 29-28

Campbell vs. Reyes
Charlie Campbell, TKO, R1
Elephant in the room, Reyes hasn't fought in 6 years, never won in the UFC only fight he had he got KO'd by Mike Perry, Campbell starts fast and finishes early imo

Knutsson vs. Mann
Josefine Knutsson, DEC
Hard to go against Knutsson here, hope she finds a finish but probably a complete shutout win
