Who doesn’t dream of becoming a UFC champion? Two-weight class fighter Kevin Holland, however, made it clear back in January that his goal in the world’s premier MMA promotion was the “lifestyle“, not the belt. “Don’t need it. I never came to the UFC to fight for a world title. I came to get paid,” declared Holland. That mindset explains why the American star, despite competing under Dana White’s banner since 2018, has never chased a title shot. Instead, the 32-year-old has built a reputation as one of the promotion’s most active and consistent fighters.
