Kevin Holland has not fought since April 2021. Following two back-to-back losses against the likes of Marvin Vettori and Derek Brunson, ‘Trailblazer’ has taken some time off to work on a few elements of his game, namely wrestling. 

During his time with the UFC, Holland has proved time and time again that he is a legitimate knockout artist. However, in his last two fights, Brunson and Vettori exposed a gaping hole in his game in his wrestling and takedown defense. 

Trailblazer continued, “Once I get going again, I get going again, you know what I mean? We gotta be realistic here. The hole is wrestling right? I fix the wrestling hole, I don’t really see too many gaps. I mean probably putting on some size, but I mean not really. Just get better, and everything else will work itself out. So, I don’t see myself taking too much time off.”

Kevin Holland takes on Kyle Daukaus on October 2nd 

Kevin Holland takes on a tough test in Kyle Daukaus in his return fight. Daukaus is a submission specialist and has secured a mind-boggling 80% of his wins via submissions. He is also a relentless wrestler and averages 1.75 takedowns per 15 minutes. Holland has used the time away from the sport to work on his wrestling and ground game, which was close to non existent in his last two fights. 

Holland has trained under the likes of Daniel Cormier and most recently Johny Hendricks, to improve his wrestling. It will be interesting to see the progress Holland has made in that department of his game during his time away from the sport. Will Holland bounce back into the win column? Or will he be dominated on the ground once again? Only time will tell!
