Fight Predictions: UFC on ESPN 21: Brunson vs Holland
To say there's not a ton of intrigue around a few things coming into 'UFC on ESPN 21' (#UFCVegas22) would be an understatement.
How will Gregor Gillespie (@gregorthegift) πΊπΈ be on his return. Cause Brad Riddell (@bradquakeriddell) π³πΏ has been putting in work and he's undefeated in the UFC.
Will Marion Reneau (@marion_reneau) π§πΏ be able to get things back on track or is Macy Chiasson (@macychiasson) πΊπΈ about to go on the tear, she has the potential for.
With Cheyanne (@cheywarprincess) πΊπΈ & JP Buys (@wrestling_jp) πΏπ¦ both making their debuts and UFC history. The question is, if only one can get a victory, how much hand does that give them in the marriage!!! Their opponents Montserrat Ruiz (@conejo_mad) π²π½ whose making her UFC debut and Bruno Silva (@brunoblindado) π§π· definitely have no issue raining on this historic moment!
Harry Hunsucker (@hurricane_hunsucker) πΊπΈ is making his debut against Tai Tuivasa (@bambamtuivasa) π¦πΊ which is definitely a tough test. Is he ready for the jump up. And with a win, will he be calling for the Vanderaa rematch?
Leonardo Santos (@leosantosjj) π§π· & Grant Dawson (@grantdawsonkgd) πΊπΈ are both unbeaten within the UFC and both have had injury issues. Will one fighter come out of this and start their push for the top?
AND, in the Main event, Derek Brunson (@derekbrunson) π€ΌββοΈ has really found a new focus since joining up with Henri Hooft (@henrihooft) and put together some good wins. BUT, Kevin Holland (@trailblaze2top) βοΈ is way more than a hype train. We've seen him win for many different situations. So will he use this fight to make that title fight undeniable or will Brunson use it to ease a step closer to his own gold season!
