UFC on ABC 2: Vettori vs. Holland Preview and Predictions
April 6, 2021
This weekend, the UFC will hold its second network-television event of 2021, headlined by a fight between top-10 middleweights Marvin Vettori (7) and Kevin Holland (10). Originally scheduled to be a showdown between Vettori and Darren Till, Holland stepped in with less than two weeks’ notice after a broken clavicle forced Till to withdraw from the contest.
Vettori has not been overly active in the past few years, largely through no fault of his own. He has fought just four times since his 2018 split-decision loss to current middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. Despite his relative inactivity, Vettori has enjoyed a great deal of success, with wins in all four of those contests since the Adesanya loss.
