Kevin Holland is returning to the octagon in less than four weeks after his last fight against Derek Brunson. Holland will attend UFC on ABC 2 main event against Marvin Vettori.
Marvin Vettori was supposed to fight Darren Till on April 10, who took himself out of the fight due to a broken collarbone. Subsequently, Holland will replace Till in less than ten days’ notice.
Holland lost his most recent fight on March 20, which was his first-ever main event. He got lucky by receiving another headliner within a month.
Trailblazer appeared in an interview, regarding his upcoming fight. Though he lost his first-ever headliner, it seems Holland is confident about his next fight. Holland does not care about the opponent.
He said, “It’s simple. It’s very simple. I’m just going to fight. I hear you, I feel you, I smell you, but I’m just going to fight.”
Furthermore, the MMA world will see a new Kevin Holland as he was criticized for being a big mouth in his last battle against Brunson.
“You guys wanted big mouth the last time I did all that talking, and then everybody complained. This time, I’m going to fight. So just be happy, I’m going to fight,” Holland conveyed.
Kevin Holland vs Marvin Vettori fight preview
Vettori achieved his biggest victory in early December last year when he steamrolled Jack Hermansson, in his UFC career’s first main event assignment. Vettori will join the fight with 16-4 records, while Kevin will join 21-6 records.
The 27-year-old has been inconsistent in his UFC tenure, but he is more stable in recent days. Vettori holds a four winning streak, and he will be looking to make it five consecutive wins.

On the other hand, Kevin Holland has been pretty consistent in his last six matches except the defeated one on March 20. Conversely, Kevin does not care if he wins or loses; he just wants to fight.
“I just like to fight. At the end of the day, that’s one thing that will never change; I love to fight,” Holland said.
However, the talkative “Trailblazer” gets a chance to quickly get back into the score column by toppling the higher-ranked rival. He will surely take the chance to level up his standing in the middleweight table.
