JDM is a stud but it’s hard to bet against Big Mouth Holland. I think he’s on a roll and take this one too. #NocheUFC https://t.co/fblbZ12S7Y

Hollands landing better when he’s not leaning so much

Aaron Bronsteter
Very close first round and a difficult round to score.
Slight lean 10-9 JDM

Luke Thomas
Good first round. JDM fighting more disciplined. Holland playing a bit of take one to land two, but having mixed success with it. Still a wide open fight.

Brad Tavares
Good fight so far! I give that first round to maddalena #UFCNoche
— Brad Tavares (@BradTavares) September 17, 2023
Yves Edwards
Holland looked very comfortable early in the first then a little uncomfortable for a bit there mid round then very comfortable again by the end of it. He has to stay focused and handle business. If he has too much fun in there it will be a problem.

1-2 for Kevin clean. Jab, leg kick Holland again.
Jack moving his head well. Jack body kick. Kevin jab, jab, right hand. Jack right hand touches. Kevin side kick to the body. Kevin hiding his shots well too. #NocheUFC

A spinning back fist is there when Kevin gives up his back

Kevin Iole
Holland's length is an issue for Della. I gave the second to Holland and that puts him up 20-18. Good close fight but Holland doing enough to win. #NocheUFC
— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) September 17, 2023
Alan Jouban
Close, competitive fight. Feels like JDM is landing the more significant strikes tho. #UFCNoche

Another very close round. But I got it 20-18 JDM. That being said could easily be even going into the 3rd #UFCNoche
— Brad Tavares (@BradTavares) September 17, 2023
Belal Muhammad
This is very close I think Holland can use a takedown again and land it
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) September 17, 2023
Bloody Elbow
JDM pressing to start round 3 again. Holland keeping his front kicks and jabs active. #UFCNoche

Caposa
Think Jack has probably landed the more effective work in the first 2 rounds. Holland needs to open up his offense right now.

Fans are booing the fight, which isn't exactly fair, but also relative to what this fight could've been, round 3 feels a bit like a sparring round.

All three rounds were competitive. But wouldn’t be surprised seeing a 30-27 for JDM. #UFCNoche
