Kevin Holland was an afterthought when he joined the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster in 2018, but in the four-plus years since, he has emerged as one of the promotion’s most dependable performers.
The “Trailblazer” will look to break into the Top 15 in the welterweight division when he locks horns with Stephen Thompson in the UFC on ESPN 42 headliner this Saturday at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. Holland has compiled a 10-5 record inside the Octagon. However, the Travis Lutter protégé finds himself on the rebound after submitting to a brabo choke from Khamzat Chimaev in the first round of their UFC 279 pairing on Sept.
