Main Card
Joseph Holmes
Joseph Holmes (8-2, 1-1 UFC) bounced back brilliantly from his previous setback against Jamie Pickett by submitting Alen Amedovski in just one round in May. The fighter known as “Ugly Man” used his reach and 6-foot-4 frame to outsteady Amedovski, who eventually fell to the mat. Later on, Holmes applied ground and pound to inflict more punishment and then he slid his left arm under the chin of his Macedonian foe, who was forced to tap out to avoid passing out. Holmes has stopped all of his opponents, with six coming via submissions and two by knockout. He has not been knocked out nor submitted and his losses were all decisions.
Park Jun Yong
Known as “The Iron Turtle,” Park (14-5, 4-2 UFC) has won four of his five fights since losing in his first UFC bout against Anthony Hernandez. He took out Marc-Andre Barriault, John Phillips, Tafon Nchukwi and Eryk Anders via decision. The South Korean fighter has fought brilliantly in those fights, dominating his foes, en route to victories that boosted his status. He needs to use his experience to fend off Holmes’ attacks and submission attempts. If he is able to counter Holmes’ submission attempts and punches and takes control of the ground and pound, the South Korean has a good chance of winning the showdown.
