A shuffling of the deck is keeping Brendan Allen on the upcoming UFC on ESPN 6 card.
MMA Fighting confirmed with sources that Kevin Holland has been moved from his bout with Antonio Arroyo, which was scheduled for UFC Sao Paulo on Nov. 16, and he will now replace an injured Eric Spicely in a middleweight bout opposite newcomer Brendan Allen in Boston on Oct. 18.
Holland (16-4) has won three straight fights, most recently defeating Alessio Di Chirico by unanimous decision at UFC Greenville in June.
