Kevin Holland against Daniel Rodriguez UFC 318 Expert Pick, prediction

Filling out the main card is a battle in the world weight between Kevin Holland and Daniel Rodriguez.

I know that these two were booked to fight each other in several places of their career, but this booking feels like a waste for the Holland side of things when I'm honest.

Although I got a lot of respect for the Rodriguez player, I think that the Los Angeleno has had a noticeable decline in recent years and apparently lost some speed and smoothness for his game.

Add the fact that Holland is traditionally good over the southern paws (officially at 10-3-1 compared to UFC-Level-Linken), and I suspect that the stage for “Trailblazer” is set to land one of its patented rights.

The choice is Holland from Knockout in round 1.
