The best and worst from UFC Fight Night 154: Moicano vs. Korean Zombie

#2 Worst: The Holland vs. Di Chirico fight

Kevin Holland's fight with Alessio Di Chirico was extremely dull

The main card opener between Middleweights Kevin Holland and Alessio Di Chirico was clearly the worst fight on show last night, and while it won’t go down as one of the truly horrible UFC fights this year like March’s Jesus Pinedo-John Makdessi clash, it should certainly be remembered as one of 2019’s most forgettable, as well as one that had a pretty bizarre decision.

The fight was largely even through a dull first round, but Holland apparently injured his shoulder during the second round and from that point on was clearly struggling, and even if Di Chirico didn’t do a lot to really cement himself as the better fighter, I thought it was clear that the Italian had done just enough to warrant winning the decision.

Somehow though all three judges scored it 29-28 for Holland, despite Di Chirico being the more aggressive fighter, walking down Holland and landing what I felt were the better strikes.

All in all, such a bad decision was just the capper on a poor fight for both men, and I’d be highly surprised if the UFC decides to showcase either one of them on a main card come their next outing.
