Roman Dolidze vs Kevin Holland UFC 307 Expert Pick, Prediction

Filling out the main card is an interesting middleweight draw between Dolidze and Holland.

Since both fighters are wild men in every sense of the word, this fight is the hardest to predict on the main card.

Dolidze and Holland are deceptively dangerous from many positions, but neither uses consistent processes to get the job done. However, Dolidze has shown the grappling and clinch fighting that has thwarted Holland before – especially in this weight class.

Add to that the fact that Dolidze isn't finished as a pro yet, and I can't help but side with the bigger fighter who's calling the shots at this point.

Dolidze was chosen unanimously.
