Holland can have success without mixing in grappling if he can keep the pressure on, make MVP work hard and make sure the pace and output is high. It requires him to keep moving forward though and not being too cautious about it.

Katlyn Vs Barber
Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 3 Perfect, 550 Points | Tied for 4248th
She slapped Andrea around a bit but she also took some good shots too, Katlyn sometimes looks a lil slow on the speed side to me; but what she does has lasts throughout 3rds. On the other hand Barbers cardio lasts also too, for some reason it’s just hard for me to picture her really hurting Katlyn. The only way of victory I see for Barber is her dragging Katlyn down against the fence all night as Katlyn gets right back up so Katlyn doesn’t get any shots off.
Idk, I don’t see how she pulls out a W against someone with this much experience.

He's great and all but blaydes is a different breed. So far, he's only lost to power punchers.

You gotta understand that Banks is 6'8" with an 83" reach, so he is also packs serious power.
Parisian doesn't hit as hard, and in Robelis' first fight he showed that quick evasion footwork, he'll be harder to hit in addition to his long reach

Gillian didn’t seem totally in the fight either, probably would be a loss still but would like to see her run that back with a bit more confidence.

Michel Pereira, DEC
I see Michal being the aggressor in round 1 - Pereira is a bit of a slow starter and looks more to circle his opponents and shoot out body kicks and explosive punches. The big question in this round and likely the whole fight will be how well Pereira is able to move out of the way of Michal’s punches. Pereira’s defense comes mostly from his good footwork and head movement but he gets stunned when landed on by welterweights - I’m worried how he’s gonna respond to punches landed by Michal. If it gets to the second round, Periera will likely be more aggressive. His issue here is that while he’s effective at landing very significant strikes, he’s not the best at following them up for a finish. He often goes low IQ when he thinks he’s near a finish and ends up getting hurt himself or just losing a position. The upside for him here is that he’s been tough enough to not get finished himself and win decisions on damage. Dustin Jacoby won a decision against Michal by out kickboxing him and I can see Pereira doing the same.

Asu Almabaev, SUB, R2
Asu should be able to handle the pressure from CJ. Asu is a sub machine and goes to dec. quite a bit. I think he can take CJ out in RD2/3.
Wood vs. Moroz
Maryna Moroz, SUB, R2
Retirement vs Onlyfans. Cant bet on this fight. Moroz subbed her in first matchup.
