UFC on ESPN 37 Means vs. Holland picks and predictions
Records: Means (32-12-1) | Holland (22-7-0)
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Holland (-320) comes in as the much more consistent fighter lately, posting a 6-2-1 record across his past 9 fights at the UFC level. While yes, he is just 1-2-1 across the previous 4, the level of competition has been a lot more impressive than that of Means (+235).
Means has managed 3 straight UD wins, but he is just 6-5-1 across the past 12 UFC fights.
I like HOLLAND BY POINTS (+133) for a much better value on the method of victory.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 2.5 ROUNDS (-125) is a good play if you want a little wiggle room, not trusting that this one is going to go the distance. However, YES (-112): FIGHT TO GO THE DISTANCE is a good play. Means’ past 3 fights have gone all the way, with 2 of the past 4 fights for Holland needing the help of the judges to decide a winner.
