Roman Dolidze vs. Kevin Holland UFC 307 expert pick, prediction
Filling out the main card is an interesting middleweight attraction between Dolidze and Holland.
With both fighters being wildmen in every sense of the word, this fight stands out the hardest to forecast on the main card.
Dolidze and Holland are deceptively dangerous from a ton of positions, but neither applies consistent processes to get the job done. That said, Dolidze has shown the wrestling and clinch fighting that has stymied Holland before – particularly at this weight class.
Add in the fact that Dolidze has yet to be finished as a pro, and I can’t help but side with the larger fighter to dictate the action in this spot.
The pick is Dolidze by unanimous decision.
