As promised by UFC president Dana White, Kevin
Holland will get to fight one week after his matchup with
Trevin
Giles was canceled on the day of the event.
Holland will square off with Joaquin
Buckley at
UFC Fight Night 174 on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
MMAjunkie.com was first to report the middleweight booking. UFC
Fight Night 174 is headlined by a heavyweight duel between Derrick
Lewis and Alexey
Oleynik and streams on ESPN+.
Holland was supposed to face Giles at UFC Fight Night 173 this past
Saturday before Giles fainted just before the bout and was
transported to a nearby hospital. The 27-year-old “Trailblazer” has
won four of his last five Octagon appearances, including a
39-second TKO of Anthony
Hernandez in his most recent outing at UFC on ESPN 8.
Buckley, meanwhile, is coming off a second-round TKO of Jackie Gosh
at Legacy Fighting Alliance 87 on July 31. The St. Louis native has
won two straight at 185 pounds with LFA after a 3-2 stint in
Bellator that took place primarily as a welterweight.
