Middleweight fighter Kevin Holland’s two-fight winning streak was cut short last weekend after his loss to Jack Della Maddalena. The rising Australian prospect managed to outwork Holland and captured a split decision victory to rack up six wins in UFC. However, the Trailblazer does not seem to be deterred by the loss and has already called out his next opponent.
Holland has set his sights on Neil Magny who lost his last fight to Ian Garry at UFC 292. The 30-year-old took to Instagram to address his loss to Jack and called out Magny for his next fight. While doing so Holland also presented an interesting bet where the loser of their fight will also have to lose their hair.

“Props to Jack good guard I’d like to go watch it back! I see y’all talking about poor performance I really honestly thought I out worked dude but wtf do I know? For those that ride with me how about @neil_magny170 [ Neil Magny] loser cuts there hair,” posted Kevin.
Holland’s proposition happens to be reminiscent of the Battle of Billionaires event in WWE where former US President Donald Trump shaved Vince McMahon’s hair after he lost the fight. The fight between Holland and Magny has a small chance of bearing the same outcome due to UFC’s recent merger with WWE.
While many believe Holland was a victim of the Chiesa curse, he will be looking to get back in the win column with his upcoming fight. Regardless, Holland has managed to remain aggressively active since his debut and managed to create a few records in UFC.
Kevin Holland creates a huge record after his recent loss at UFC Noche
Middleweight fighter Kevin Holland is one of the few fighters in UFC that has never stepped down from a challenge. Apart from that he’s also made a name for himself by putting on entertaining performances every time he enters the octagon. Due to this Holland has amassed himself tons of fans and break a few records through his journey.
Holland made his UFC debut in 2018 and since then has racked up a record of 12 wins, 7 losses and one no-contest in UFC. The Trailblazer recently competed against Jack Della Maddalena at UFC Noche last weekend and joined an exclusive list of fighters.
Holland has secured the record of the second-fastest fighter to complete 20 fights in UFC. The Trailblazer only needed 1869 days to achieve this feat and comes second only to Hall Of Famer Donald Cerrone. Regardless, Holland is not far from Cerrone as the Cowboy needed 1842 days to complete this record.
Apart from that Holland also holds the record for the most fights in a calendar year. With Holland looking to fight Neil Magny after his recent loss, he could end up competing four times this year. Will Holland compete in another fight this year? Let us know your opinions in the comments below.
