Kevin Holland is set to face the rising Australian prospect Jack Della Maddalena in the Noche UFC co-main event on Saturday, Sept. 16. Known for being one of the most active fighters on the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s roster, “Trailblazer” has already fought twice in 2023, earning a knockout over Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC 287 in April and a first-round submission of Michael Chiesa at UFC 291 in July.
H2: An Entertaining Matchup
“I’m entertaining, they say [Maddalena is] entertaining, and we shall find out. If we’re both entertaining, it should make for a great match that night but, like I said, I’m good with all styles, so I’ll be straight,” Holland told UFC.com’s E. Spencer Kyte. With famous Queens, New York, rapper 50 Cent’s “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” as his life mantra, Holland wants to continue staying active by potentially fighting again before the end of the year.
H2: Targeting Kill Cliff FC Fighters
The former middleweight is eyeing opponents specifically from Kill Cliff FC, formerly Sanford MMA, in Deerfield Beach, Florida. This organization is now home to elite welterweights like Gilbert Burns, Shavkat Rakhmonov, and Ian Garry. While his usual trash talk has earned him the moniker of “Big Mouth,” Holland was uncharacteristically polite while offering to fight a Kill Cliff FC representative before the holiday season.
“Everybody that is over there at Kill Cliff, those are the names I need to go attack… I’m not calling these guys out,” said Holland. “I’m just simply saying; when the time comes and nobody wants to step up and fight you guys… Christmas time is coming up, Thanksgiving is coming up, New Year’s is coming and you want to put some more bacon in your pockets. That’s what I’m here for.”
With his entertaining fighting style and ambition to stay active, Kevin Holland is gearing up for an exciting match against Jack Della Maddalena and potential future fights with the best welterweights in Kill Cliff FC. This approach will surely keep fans on the edge of their seats, eager to witness his next thrilling performance in the Octagon.
