Krause and the Glory MMA squad in his corner is a good look.

Both White and Valdez are good prospects. Both just has to tighten up his kickboxing. White’s takedown defense is very solid and he had a few good reversals. Valdez’s offensive wrestling and pace were excellent. Recovery in between rounds was good. Good power in his hands. Both could use development but with guys like Pirello last week and Ontiveros this week, there’s room for low level guys in the UFC

Holmes is looking less aggressive than usual, I’d like to see him actually commit to a takedown and look for a submission

If this was any other season I wouldn't expect that performance to get a contract, but it was a decent win.

I think Holmes was trying to exhibit a bit of patience. Didn’t want to get caught with something stupid. Knew it would come, got it done.
