Kevin Holland
- Odds: -278
- Record: 23-9-0

- Height: 1.91 m
- Weight: 77 kg
- Reach: 206 cm
Holland is coming off two consecutive defeats, with the latest in December where a hand injury forced him to end the fight with Stephen Thompson. Despite having some impressive winning streaks since joining the UFC almost five years ago, Holland has been going through a rough patch since 2021.
He is a striker with a strong punch, evident in his 13 knockout wins out of 23 victories. His strength is also undeniable, since he has never been knocked out (only three of his eight losses were by submission).
Santiago Ponzinibbio
- Odds: +215
- Record: 30-6-0
- Age: 36
- Height: 1.83 m
- Weight: 81 kg
- Reach: 185 cm
Just when it seemed like his career was on decline (losing three out of his last four fights, albeit some in controversial decisions), Argentine Santiago Ponzinibbio bounced back to his feet with an impressive KO victory over Alex Morono, repositioning himself amongst the welters.
The Argentine has been displaying top-notch skills, taking on tough opponents in his weight class, but he knows that he needs to rack up wins to climb up the rankings and earn a shot at the title. Ponzinibbio will be facing an opponent much taller and with a larger reach, so he will need to be extra cautious as he has been knocked out three times before.
JefeBet Prediction
This will be an epic showdown between two seasoned UFC fighters. Ponzinibbio’s vast knowledge of the octagon could give him a slight edge over his opponent. That is why, at JefeBet, we are leaning towards an Argentine victory by scorecards.
Prediction: Ponzinibbio wins by unanimous decision.
