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

Close, competitive fight. Feels like JDM is landing the more significant strikes tho. #UFCNoche

29-28 either way is justified.

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