I don't see Mallot winning this one. if you're getting finished by Magny you're likely not getting past Kevin Holland.

Damn Kev has 43 fights and is still only 32.. crazy


Yet another successful 'Bellator reject'

 

[DougieJones]

Lay up? I just checked and Mallott is a -150 favorite. If you think this is a layup fight for Holland and can bet him at + odds...seems like some free $

No way seriously? BRB...

 

[Streeter]

I am now just always rooting for Holland. Dude has a good attitude, exciting fighter, fights anyone, fights as much as he possibly can , will fight on hours notice. A better Cowboy Ceronne imo..

Holland vs Malott in a month at Vancouver . Malott is a year older with 15 MMA fights compared to Holland with 43 MMA fights

Holland is my pick having a longer reach , his swarming chaos style attacks and chin help him against the less experienced Malott who while a good striker is not as battle proven , though he did show grit in his last fight where he stopped Charles Radtke. Malott will have to take chances going forward

It's weird you talk about the striking, this fight will be won or lost on the grappling. If Malott gets good takedowns and top pressure he'll win an easy decision, if Kevin hurts him on entries and scambles he wins.

I don't know about Malott getting top position means an easy decision for him. Kevins grappling has been shown to be more effective when fighting WW's. Kevin has yet to get big brothered at WW the same way he has consistently at MW. I don't see Malot being able to take him down and control him as easily as the guys at 185 have.

He lost do to early stoppage / referee error. If not for that, he would be ranked in top 5 right now

That was a legit stoppage. Malott dominated the first two rounds but then gassed out. Many was beating on him while he flopped like a fish.

He was gassed, but there was like 3 seconds left in the fight, and Magny was just hitting him w rabbit punches.

I'm glad he is getting a ranked opponent again, it is well deserved.

 

[Khaosan]

Malott gets overwhelmed in this one unfortunately.

Holland via TKO or D’arce.

That's because you didn't read properly i said top PRESSURE not just the position which if he can get will be the easy win. And then i also said if Kevin has some good scrambles he's going to win.

 

[TITS]

Malott's the future champ who got TKO'ed by Neil Magny, right?

...and about to get worked by Kevin Jobberland.

Dude you're arguing semantics or taking what I said too literally. Within the context, when I said top position it's obviously implied that he would be controlling/pressuring him from top. What else would I mean by "top position"? That he would just lay on him without doing anything for 3 rounds to a decision?
