Kevin Holland (26-12) will face Reinier de Ridder (18-2) in a middleweight bout at UFC 311.
Multiple outlets confirmed the pairing following an initial report from MMA Mania. UFC 311 takes place on Jan. 18 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and also includes a light heavyweight clash pitting Jiri Prochazka against Jamahal Hill.
Holland was named Sherdog's “Breakthrough Fighter of the Year” for 2020 thanks to a 5-0 UFC campaign, but he has since fallen on more difficult times.
