Get ready for an explosive night at UFC Vancouver! Kevin Holland, the ultra-active fighter, is back and promises to deliver an unforgettable performance. With his eyes set on a final fight in 2025 against Neil Magny, Holland is leaving no stone unturned. But here's where it gets controversial...
Tonight, Holland steps into the Octagon for the fifth time this year, showcasing his relentless spirit. With a record of 2-2 in 2025, he aims to turn things around against Mike Malott, a Canadian fighter who poses a significant challenge. Holland believes he has what it takes to break through and secure that much-needed win.
And this is the part most people miss... Holland has grand plans for the future. After a busy year, he intends to take it easy in 2026, allowing his body and mind to recover. But mark my words, he's gearing up for an even more intense 2027, aiming for a staggering seven fights!
"I'll put in the work against this opponent and hopefully keep the momentum going. Next year will be a chill year, but in 2027, I'm going all out!" Holland shared with MMA Junkie.
But can he pull off this ambitious goal? Well, Holland, at 32, is certainly a force to be reckoned with. However, he's never fought more than five times in a single year for UFC, so staying injury-free is crucial to achieving this higher level of activity.
As Holland gears up for his fight against Malott this weekend, he remains confident. "I thought it was Matthews, but it doesn't matter. I've seen this guy fight, and while he's a wonderful fighter, he's just not at my level."
So, will Holland's predictions come true? Tune in to UFC Vancouver to find out!
