Insider info
Joseph Holmes favored — picked against JunYong Park emphatic UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs Allen · October 26, 2022

cardiogood
He states this as close to a lock, pointing to Park's track record of hanging with much tougher opposition than Holmes has faced.
Park has already proven he can compete with legitimately dangerous strikers, having stood and traded in a genuine back-and-forth war before eventually being stopped, and separately going the distance while absorbing clean shots from a hard hitter. He pairs credible striking with functional takedowns, good volume, and strong cardio, giving him the tools to set a pace that's expected to be a real problem for his opponent. The read here is about as confident as this analysis gets — Park is viewed as a clear step above the level Holmes has shown so far.
