When will Kevin Holland compete next?
Kevin Holland is all set to appear on the upcoming UFC 302 card which will take place on June 1 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The card will be headlined by a lightweight title fight between Dustin Poirier and champion Islam Makhachev.
Holland will go toe-to-toe against Michal Oleksiejczuk in a middleweight clash on the main card of the event.
The fight will be a quick turnaround for the two fighters as both of them last competed at UFC 299 which was held in April 2024.
Both fighters failed to secure a victory that night. Holland lost to Michael Page via unanimous decision and Olkeseijczuk was submitted by Michel Pereira in the opening round of the fight.
So, it will be interesting to see who will return to winning ways come August 3.
