Expert Betting Tips

Kelvin Holland has fought more career fights than his opponent. He has also been the more active of the two in the last year, having fought five times. This has an implication in terms of body recovery for him. His strategy will be to keep the fight on its feet, as he is good with his kicks. Apparently his recent progress is getting so bad that it put him in an uncomfortable position. Yet his experience is expected to speak in this bout. Reinier has fought once in the UFC and won it. His experience in that promotion is still shallow compared to his opponent Kelvin's.
