The Dutchman Reinier De Ridder is the right pick. He entered the UFC as a veteran and champion in another promotion, with a record of 20-2. He has made 3 appearances in the UFC with 3 wins, all by the 'fast track,' no judges needed, 2 submissions and 1 KO. Having won against Kevin Holland and Bo Nickal, considered to be the next American hot shot in the promotion. De Ridder's fighting style is grappling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt. Nonetheless, he has shown great striking combos including knees and elbows. His opponent is Robert Whittaker with a record of 27-8, having lost 2 out of his last 4 fights. In his last fight against Khamzat Chimaev, he got submitted with a rear-naked choke which broke his jaw in a nasty way. He is not the fighter he used to be anymore. Having said this, I judge RDR to be a HUGE favorite although the odds don't say that, especially knowing that Whittaker's jaw will be a loose end for him. RDR will put the necessary pressure to make him tap out, with all his knowledge and experience in the octagon and BJJ black belt.

Max Holloway is one of a kind, considered to be "the best boxer to ever fight in UFC." His record is 26-8. He only got knocked out once in his entire career by Ilia Topuria (current two-division champion), and his losses are to some of the best to ever play the sport. Great striker, younger, and a huge fight for his title shot. Dustin Poirier, one of the few to ever beat Conor McGregor (twice), has a record of 30-9, having lost 3 of his last 5 fights. Dustin once was an elite-level fighter (not that he isn't anymore), but he already announced this fight to be his last. Great striker, but as he said, he's got a "goose neck." Famous for being submitted when it matters the most. In my opinion, he is psychologically weak because of his last results, and when fighters usually announce their retirement, they don't perform as expected. Don't get me wrong, Dustin is a great fighter, and he will put on a great fight for fans. I'll stick to Max with confidence.
