UFC fan-favorite campaigns for sixth fight this yr ahead of UFC Vancouver return

The UFC’s most lively fighter is back in motion this weekend.

Kevin Holland has had 27 fights within the UFC since his promotional debut back in 2018. No other fighter has had more since that point.

Holland has bounced forwards and backwards between wins and losses to a few of the perfect fighters on this planet, including UFC champions Jack Della Maddalena and Khamzat Chimaev.

The 32-year-old looks to rebound once more at UFC Vancouver when he takes on Canada’s Mike Mallott.

That is Holland’s first fight since losing a ‘fight of the yr’ contender to Daniel Rodriguez at UFC 318 in July. Consider it or not, Saturday night can be Holland’s fifth fight this yr.

Because it seems, Holland doesn’t need to stop at five.

Kevin Holland wants to achieve six UFC fights inside 2025

Ahead of his fight against Mallott, Holland is already talking about making a fast turnaround.

It wouldn’t be anything latest for Holland as he’s certainly one of the one fighters in UFC history to have won five times in a calendar yr (2020).

Nevertheless, Holland has never fought six times in a yr before, at the very least not within the UFC.

“I’d like to do number 6 on an apex card for espn,” Holland expressed interest in a sixth fight in 2025 on X.

The ultimate ESPN-streamed UFC event takes place on Dec. 13 on the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Taking a look at the promotion’s schedule, there are only a few UFC Fight Night events that Holland could fight at before that.

Neil Magny once had 10 fights in two years

Before Kevin Holland was the UFC’s most lively fighter, there was Neil Magny.

Magny, known to be a gatekeeper of the welterweight division, never got to 6 fights in a calendar yr, but he got here close.

Magny went a powerful 5-0 in 2014 and 4-1 in 2015. That’s 10 fights in two years for ‘The Haitian Sensation’.

The 38-year-old recently finished Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos and Jake Matthews in back-to-back months.
