KURT HOLOBAUGH VS KAYNAN KRUSCHEWSKY LOWDOWN
Kurt Holobaugh (20-8(1)) has not kickstarted his third UFC stint how he would like. After one UFC loss in 2013 and then three on the trot between 2018-2019 to Raoni Barcelos, Shane Burgos and Thiago Moises he thought his UFC dream was over. However, we won The Ultimate Fighter 31 tournament by submitting Austin Hubbard (2023) in the finale to earn another opportunity. He met Trey Ogden in March this year but dropped his fifth UFC loss falling short in a unanimous decision.
Kaynan Kruschewsky (15-2(1)) is at the start of his UFC career making his debut in November last year at UFC Fight Night 231. He earnt his shot in the big time by submitting Dylan Mantello (2023) on the Contender Series which extended an unbeaten run to seven. Elves Brener welcomed him to the octagon greeting him with a blistering knockout in the first round.
KURT HOLOBAUGH VS KAYNAN KRUSCHEWSKY PREDICTION
Holobaugh had no answer to Ogden’s wrestling in his last fight. Fortunately for him, Kruschewsky is not the same calibre of wrestler and will oblige in a stand-up battle. The Brazilian is a dangerous Muay Thai striker and will see a lot of openings.
Holobaugh is tough with good hands. His defence is mediocre which Kruschewsky can exploit with his power. Holobaugh will be wise to initiate some grappling here. He has slick jiu-jitsu, however his wrestling is not good enough to assume any control.
Kruschewsky should have the grappling to keep the fight where he wants it and the striking to edge the exchanges with Holobaugh’s durability taking this to the bell.
Prediction: Kruschewsky via Decision
Value Bet: Holobaugh via Decision
