If Holobaugh can’t land early damage, I feel that he will fall behind. This is a much more winnable matchup for Leavitt, in which he can use his intelligent grappling to control Holobaugh and win.”\u00a0See who else to back here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Vithlani has strong picks for Blanchfield vs. Barber and other bouts on the UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs. Barber card.
