During a recent interview with Helen Yee, Holland claimed that the possibility of Till fighting Chimaev in the UFC may have ended now. However, he felt it was a smart move from ‘The Gorilla’ to work with one of the best fighters in the world:
Watch Kevin Holland in conversation with MMA reporter Helen Yee below:
Kevin Holland has fought in the UFC’s welterweight and middleweight divisions and holds a professional MMA record of 21-7-1NC. Former welterweight title challenger Till (18-4-1) and the unbeaten Chimaev (10-0) have also tested themselves in both divisions.
Kevin Holland is scheduled to take on Alex Oliveira in a welterweight encounter at UFC 272 next month
Kevin Holland will return to the welterweight division at UFC 272 inside Nevada’s T-Mobile Arena on March 5, 2022. He will square off against the unranked Alex Oliveira at the pay-per-view event.
After tying the UFC record for most victories in a calendar year with five triumphs in 2020, ‘Trailblazer’ went winless last year. He suffered unanimous decision losses to Derek Brunson and Marvin Vettori and had a no-contest against Kyle Daukaus most recently due to an accidental clash of heads.
Here’s journalist Marcel Dorff’s confirmation of Holland vs. Oliveira at UFC 272:
Holland will be hoping for a change in fortunes when he faces Oliveira, who is on a three-bout losing streak himself. The Brazilian fighter has racked up 22 wins, 11 defeats, one draw and two no-contests in his MMA career till date.
