Saturday night marks a crossroads for several UFC veterans.
Nowhere is that more evident than in the UFC Vegas 22 main event, which sees longtime middleweight contender Derek Brunson take on Kevin Holland, one of the division’s recent breakout stars. It feels like we go through this cycle with Brunson every couple of years, watching him rise up through the ranks only to eventually be outpaced by newer names. At 37, this could be Brunson’s last chance to prove that he’s not just a gatekeeper.
A lot is on the line for the brash Holland too.
