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.”
