Beneil Dariush vs. Scott Holtzman

36-year old Scott Holtzman has dropped three of his last nine bouts. He's mainly a boxer with plenty of energy but limited on MAA skills. Holtzman will sometimes go for takedowns, but that won't work against Beneil Dariush, who is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt. Dariush is multi-skilled and a dangerous puncher, winning four in a row against tough competition, including a victory over Drew Dober and a spectacular knockout of Drakkar Klose in his last bout. He is 12-4-1 in the UFC and has moved into a Top 15 ranking. For this fight, Dariush is the better grappler and has excellent kicks to compliment his punching power. He's also five years younger, has a three-inch reach advantage, and a 1.5-inch leg kick edge. Back Beneil Dariush to win the fight.
