We discuss recent results on the calculation of glueball decay rates in theWitten-Sakai-Sugimoto model, which favor the $f_0(1710)$ meson as a glueballcandidate. The flavor asymmetric decay of $f_0(1710)$ is frequently attributedto a putative chiral suppression in glueball decays, which is howeverquestionable in view of the large constituent quark masses induced by chiralsymmetry breaking. We find that this can be explained by what we call nonchiralenhancement when finite quark masses are included in the holographic model,with good quantitative agreement with experimental data for $f_0(1710)$.Assuming the latter to indeed be a nearly pure glueball, the model makesessentially parameter-free and thus falsifiable predictions for its decay ratesinvolving vector mesons and an upper limit on the $\eta\eta'$ decay rate.
