Kevin Holland has decided to move from middleweight to welterweight in the upcoming year.
Holland announced the move on Wednesday in an Instagram post and revealed that he was already preparing for the weight cut with the help of a new meal plan. His manager — Oren Hodak of KO Reps — told Nolan King of MMA Junkie that Holland also visited the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas recently to receive additional assistance with the cut.
Holland has previously competed at welterweight in both his amateur and professional careers. The ’Trailblazer’ alternated between divisions before focusing entirely on middleweight, where he has been since he arrived in the UFC over three years ago.
