Top UFC Fight Night picks

We’ll share one of Vithlani’s UFC Fight Night predictions here: He is backing Kruschewsky (-140) to get his hand raised against Holobaugh (+120) in a lightweight bout.

Kruschewsky has lots of things in his favor, as he’s four years younger and will be the fresher fighter. Holobaugh has fought twice since Kruschewsky’s last bout in Nov. 2023, and the latter also has the edge in the tale of the tape. Kruschewsky has a three-inch reach advantage and a 4.5-inch leg reach advantage.

Kruschewsky has a muay thai fighting style that liberally utilizes different methods to get ahead. His last three KO victories have come via him using three different types of strikes — punches, leg kicks and knees. While Holobaugh has been knocked out just once in 29 career fights, going to the scorecards hasn’t done him any favors as he’s 2-6 over his last eight fights that were decided by the judges.

“Kruschewsky is an experienced Brazilian Ju-Jitsu player himself, and will have the grappling acumen to deal with Holobaugh’s threats,” Vithlani told SportsLine. “On the feet, Kruschewsky looks to be the more technical striker as well. If he can avoid a wild brawl with Holobaugh, he can beat him.” See who else to back here
