Holland knows how to get the very best out of his punches, like amanda nunes, the leverage they create when swinging is insane

No actually I couldn't care less about the virus or even catching it as I believe it's just dangerous for elderly people and people with underlying health conditions, because the way the media portrays the deaths like covid is murdering people is wrong, most of them come from underlying health conditions and general poor physical health, it was just a quick photo when I first made the profile just a few weeks ago and I was learning how to use this website altogether , also I'm jealous of the us opening back up as it's much slower here in the UK but we getting there

Brunson vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, TKO, R1
Initially I was thinking about picking Brunson after his impressive win over Edmen Shahbazyan, but style wise I think Holland has the upper hand. Brunson was brutally knocked out in the first round by Adesanya, Whittaker and Jacare Souza (2 times). I'm clearly not comparing Holland's level with that of 2 UFC middleweight champions and a former Strikeforce champion, but let's remember that Brunson is used to exchanging punches like crazy when he closes the distance for takedowns and Holland could take advantage of a counter. Brunson has trouble fighting fighters who use a lot of feints and uncommon punches and kicks and this is a characteristic Holland poses. Holland is unpredictable and against Souza he showed that even if he is taken to the ground he can surprise with a triangle choke and even with punches from the bottom. Despite Brunson's meritorious streak against 3 prospects, I think he will suffer again against a fighter with an unorthodox style, Holland will probably hit the big strike like Whittaker, Adensanya and Jacaré did (in the second fight) almost finishing the first round.

Tuivasa vs. Hunsucker
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R1
Was going to take the dog with mayes but yeah this is such an easier fight plus the short notice.

Yanez vs. Lopez
Gustavo Lopez, DEC
Yanez seems to keep his head open a lot. Fading the hype here

Dawson vs. Santos
Grant Dawson, DEC
Seemingly even matchup but you gotta fade the older guy

Buys vs. Silva
Bruno Silva, DEC
I remember being super nervous when I had a parlay with tagir in it during their last fight. He's lost a few in a row now so he's in that fight for your job kinda spot here.

Holland's weakness is that he's often playing around in there, and against a mean durable and consistent grinder like Brunson, it could be the perfect wrong matchup. But Holland's ceiling is definitely higher. Cleaner striker, BJJ blackbelt (that we haven't even really seen yet). Going with Holland, but if he takes it easy and talks too much, this could turn into a problem pretty quickly.

Giles vs. Dolidze
Roman Dolidze, SUB, R2
I had dolidze by sub in his last fight and he almost got it. giles mostly finished by sub. As far as dropping down to 185 I'm not worried if you look as romans body at 205 he definately has a bit of extra fat and was slightly undersized. I don't think with notice it will ll be a problem.

Buys vs. Silva
Bruno Silva, DEC
Honestly, one of the hardest bouts to predict. I'm not sold on Buys, and Silva has been tested hard, and lived to tell all the tales. I can give the dog a shot here.

Brunson vs. Holland
Derek Brunson, DEC
I like both guys and could see it going either way but if Brunson fights smart like he did against Shahbazyan, I could see him winning this fight. Holland is so good though and could possibly knock Brunson out fairly quickly. If anyone says Holland is trash they’re just hating.

Gillespie vs. Riddell
Gregor Gillespie, SUB, R2
Gregor is back!!!! He’s going to take Riddell down very easily and submit him. Maybe even in round 1. The only path to victory for Riddell is to KO Gillespie but I don’t see it happening.

Tuivasa vs. Hunsucker
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R1
Harry Hunsucker got destroyed by Jared Vanderaa on DWCS. That’s all we need to know. He is awful and I’d parlay Tuivasa at any odds vs him. This is over before it even starts. Sorry Harry.

Yanez vs. Lopez
Adrian Yanez, TKO, R1
Yanez is a beast! He is going for that first round KO.

Griffin vs. Song
Kenan Song, TKO, R2
Let’s be honest Griffin really isn’t that good. Song is going to knock him out.

Buys vs. Ruiz
Cheyanne Buys, DEC
Buys should not be a -360 favorite but I think she wins. Ruiz takes so many punches and has questionable defense but she’s stilll a decent prospect as well and wouldn’t be surprised if she wins an upset.

Reneau vs. Chiasson
Macy Chiasson, DEC
Both aren’t that good but Chiasson will get the job done.

Dawson vs. Santos
Grant Dawson, DEC
Santos is a live dog here and if it wasn’t for his inactivity and age I would probably pick him to win but I think Dawson will grind out a decision victory.

Giles vs. Dolidze
Trevin Giles, TKO, R2
This is the toughest fight to call on the card imo. How will Dolidze look after cutting weight? Both have questionable IQ but I gotta lean with Giles getting that TKO in the 2nd round because I think Dolidze will gas out. Money coming in on Giles and rightfully so.

Jackson vs. Strader
Montel Jackson, TKO, R1
One guy is going to get ktfo and it’s going to be Strader in round 1.

Avila vs. Stoliarenko
Julia Avila, DEC
I think Avila is going to win every round of this fight and I could even see her knocking out Stoliarenko in round 2 or 3.

Buys vs. Silva
JP Buys, SUB, R2
This is a very hard fight to pick but I’m siding with Buys. Bruno Silva isn’t very good and I think Buys finds a submission early but if he doesn’t then Silva is live because Buys gasses out very hard.

Very well spoken and seems like he's very confident in fixing his past problems.
