UFC Vegas 23 Results: Vettori vs. Holland
LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 23: Vettori vs. Holland results throughout the afternoon (Sat. 10th. April 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Taking main event status in a short-notice clash, surging middleweight contender, Marvin ‘The Italian Dream’ Vettori headlines his second straight promotional event, as does short-notice replacement, Kevin ‘Trailblazer’ Holland — who replaces former welterweight title challenger, Darren Till who suffered a broken collarbone last week.
Arriving off the back of a unanimous decision victory over former Cage Warriors welterweight titleholder, Jack Hermansson in December, Kings MMA staple, Vettori extended his undefeated streak to four-fights. With his most recnet loss coming in April 2018 in the form of a split decision defeat to current champion, Israel Adesanya, the Trento native has scored wins over Cezar Ferreira, Andrew Sanchez, Karl Roberson, and Hermansson since.
Making a record-tying twenty-one day turnaround, Holland will attempt to return to the winner’s enclosure following a unanimous decision shutout loss to middleweight staple, Derek Brunson just three weeks ago at UFC Vegas 22.
The defeat snapped a five-fight undefeated surge for the 28-year-old striker, following successes over Anthony Hernandez, Joaquin Buckley, Darren Stewart, Charlie Ontiveros, and a December knockout win over Jacare Souza.
In the co-headlining clash, streaking featherweights, Arnold Allen and Sodiq Yusuff in a bout which on paper, promises fireworks.
