‘Big Mouth’ is finally set to hit the UFC welterweight division. The top-ranked middleweight has been public about his interest in dropping down to 170 lbs (where he’s competed several times before coming to the UFC) going back years now—including an attempted short-notice fight with Daniel Rodriguez in May of 2020. But, now it looks like he’s giving the drop a serious test.
Holland announced his intentions to drop a division back in November, following an 0-2 (1 NC) run against Derek Brunson, Marven Vettori, and Kyle Daukaus. He formalized those plans in a recent post on his OnlyFans page (h/t MMA Junkie) announcing that he’d be facing off against Alex ‘Cowboy’ Oliveira at UFC 272 on March 5th.
