Kevin Holland is stepping up on short notice again to fight Marvin Vettori at the UFC on ABC 2 headliner.
Holland (21-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC) will get the chance to redeem his main event defeat against Derek Brunson in March when he steps in to replace the injured Darren Till against Vettori (16-4-1 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC) in the middleweight main event just eight days from now.
MMA Junkie verified the new fight has been signed with multiple people close to the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because UFC has yet to make an official announcement.
