Kevin Holland, UFC 302 media day
UFC middleweight Reinier de Ridder wasted no time getting a giant matchup as he will get Kevin Holland at UFC 311 on Jan 18 in Los Angeles.
De Ridder (18-2) made a splash in his UFC debut earlier this month when he submitted fellow Jiu-Jitsu specialist Gerald Meerschaert on the UFC APEX. The previous two-division ONE Championship champ made his option to the UFC following a 7-2 run within the former promotion.
Holland (26-12) will look to bounce again from a loss in opposition to Roman Dolidze at UFC 307 in October. The middleweight injured a rib within the first spherical that stopped the combat on the stool. An enormous fan-favorite for his willingness to combat anyone at any weight Holland holds victories over Michal Oleksiejczuk, Michael Chiesa, Santiago Ponzinibbio, and Tim Means to call a couple of.
UFC 311 takes place on Jan 18 on the new Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. The UFC’s return to LA will presumably be headlined by Islam Mackhachev vs. Arman Tsarukyan though the matchup is but to be formally introduced.
