Gillespie vs Holbrook
Holbrook has good pressure on the feet, good dirty boxing in the clinch, super active off of his back which allows him to open up his striking. Decent wrestling. Tough, gritty fighter.
GG has a sharp jab with some good combos behind it. Good chin (Franca rocked the fuck out of him a couple times) and a deep gas tank. Great wrestling and able to maintain a grinding gameplan without gassing.
GG has struggled with pressure out of the gate and and Holbrook will bring the pressure. GG is the better wrestler but Holb is a great scrambler, very active guard and is constantly working for subs on bottom. Both guys vey tough, gritty fighters. Most of Holb's best work comes from the clinch where GG will drive for DBL legs. I see GG getting TDs but Holb won't gas out like Franca did, he'll be constantly threatening from the bottom. I slightly favor GG but if the odds on Holbrook get much steeper he could be worth a play as I believe he's undervalued by the books. The over is my play here, really wish I could've nabbed it at -140.
2u GG/Holbrook O2.5 + Emmett
