Holly Holm

Explicit and repeated by name: he states he is taking Holm 'to get the upset' and calls a specific decision score for her. Gives a full concrete mechanism (range, jab, avoiding the clinch) to the final bell. The only hedge is on the round/margin (an early round might be 'sketchy'), which per the confidence bar does not demote.

High-level, technically sound striker with strong striking defense (gets hit below UFC average), good movement, level-mixing combinations and good range control. Good in the clinch herself (skip knees) but the analyst does not want her clinching with Harrison specifically. Good takedown defense -- makes opponents pay for failed attempts and is hard to hold down once there -- which is her path to a decision.

Calls this his single strongest-conviction pick on the entire card, with an expectation of winning most of the rounds.

A former champion the analyst explicitly says is not washed up at 41 -- high-level, technically and defensively sound kickboxing that mixes levels in combination, a strong cage push, a good Thai clinch with skip knees, and solid counter wrestling that makes opponents pay for failed takedowns. Picked to take over after a possible rough first round.

Both voices land on Holm without reservation: the guest names her plainly as her pick, and the host separately agrees and adds his own comparative reasoning. The one risk either raises is her age, which is acknowledged and argued past rather than left as a hedge on the outcome.

A high-level, technically and defensively sound kickboxer who the guest and host both say absorbs fewer strikes than the UFC average, with great takedown defense and the ability to work back to her feet. She also works a decent tie-up clinch with skip knees. Both voices flag her age and recent injuries as real risk factors, but both still back her.
