Stephen Thompson vs Kevin Holland🥊(UFC Fight Night 216): Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips 04/12/22 | News & Preview
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 –
Fight Result – Kevin Holland to win
A good fight stylistically for both of them. But still, the significant age difference can affect the final result. Steven is clearly on the decline, and Holland is not such an easy target in the standup. We’re guessing that Kevin won’t be much of an underdog in exchanges and distance. Eventually, he’ll be able to catch Wonderboy on some mistakes, which he’s been making a lot more often than he used to. Thompson comes out after a downtime, it’s hard to say what kind of shape Thompson will come out in. I think there will be a close fight on hand, where Thompson will be better because of technique and Holland because of the pressure.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Stephen Thompson vs Kevin Holland
Stephen Thompson:
Another veteran on this card. He seemingly managed to restart his career by defeating Vicente Luque and Jeff Neal. However, such impressive two victories were followed by losses to Gilbert Burns and Belal Muhammad. Simply lost to his opponents in wrestling, allowing himself to be moved to the parterre and held there time after time.
“Wonderboy” is 39 years old now, of course, he’s not getting old every new year, thus the decline in conditioning.
Sticks to the base of karate. He is light on his feet, technical and good at keeping his distance. But lately, he has clearly regressed. Thompson has a very colorful karate stance. Trouble on the ground, but his defense against take-downs is not bad. He has a good sense of distance and excellent timing. He lost his fights exclusively due to his lack of juggling skills.
It’s going to be a good fight! 🥊

Kevin Holland:
He is a very unorthodox fighter, he has the basic skills and knows how to sweep, and he lost only to the most flamboyant fighters. Holland has very good boxing, and also will have an advantage in anthropometry. The “Trailblazer” didn’t plan to fight intimidating fighter Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 279, but the circumstances of that card forced him to accept such an uncomfortable fight. Kevin could not fight anything against “Borz” as a matter of course, he was choked in the 2nd minute.
The fighter’s winning streak of two fights came to an end. Earlier, Holland proved to be stronger than Tim Means and Alex Oliveira, finishing both of his opponents in the 2nd round.
He is very effective with his punches. In the standup, the American is very shifty and resourceful as well as unusual.
They call him Big Mouth for a reason 🗣
