Kevin Holland and Vicente Luque Agree to a Clash at UFC 296 Following Ian Garry’s exit: ‘Let’s Put on a show’

Kevin Holland has offered up his services for UFC 296.

The promotion’s final pay-per-view of the year was delivered an unfortunate blow when Dana White revealed that rising Irish star Ian Garry was officially out of his highly anticipated clash with Vicente Luque due to a bout with pneumonia. With only 48 hours until fight night, many assumed that the contest had been scrapped from the main card altogether.

However, UFC fan favorite and perennial trash-talker Kevin Holland offered to step in on short notice while also taking a not-so-subtle dig at Garry who has seen his fair share of controversy over the last few months.
