Following his impressive victory at UFC 316, Kevin Holland was quick to outline his future plans in the octagon, specifically mentioning two potential opponents he is eager to face.
Holland kicked off the main card of Saturday`s UFC 316 event held in Newark, New Jersey, securing a second-round submission victory over Vicente Luque in their welterweight matchup.
In a backstage interview after his win, Holland made it clear who he wants next, issuing a direct challenge to Colby Covington.
Elaborating on his reasoning for calling out Covington, Holland expressed confidence that such a fight would be a major draw. He suggested the matchup could easily headline a Fight Night event or serve as a strong co-main event on a pay-per-view card, arguing that it would generate significant interest and high viewership due to the personalities involved and the potential for pre-fight banter.
Beyond Covington, Holland also identified Carlos Prates as another fighter he is interested in competing against, indicating the types of exciting bouts he is seeking for his upcoming appearances in the UFC.
