Rodriguez is a very good fighter, but when he has struggled it’s been against wrestlers and that’s a strength for Holland. Holland has a big reach advantage and he is going to use that to his advantage here. Holland is going to get this fight to the mat if that’s where he wants to fight, and it should be an easy win. Back Holland on the money line.
