The former UFC welterweight, Kevin Holland, recently announced his move to the middleweight division. The 29-year-old is coming off two back-to-back losses by the hands of Derek Brunson and Marvin Vettori. ‘Trailblazer’ lost both these fights via unanimous decision.
Additionally, Holland’s most recent fight against Kyle Daukaus at UFC Fight Night 193 ended in a ‘No Contest’. An accidental clash of the heads led to this decision. Daukaus showed his disappointment in the referee’s decision after his successful submission win.
Kevin has always been an outspoken person. He shared the reason for his weight class change was because of his opponents using weight as an advantage over him. In addition to this, Holland seems to be lacking in his groundwork against good wrestler-type fighters.
