Kevin Holland has shared his thoughts on Islam Makhachev's plan to challenge for the welterweight title ahead of UFC 302.
Kevin Holland thinks a potential move up to the welterweight division would work out just fine for UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev.“Trailblazer” is set to return to action this Saturday to take on Michał Oleksiejczuk on the main card of UFC 302, which also features a headlining lightweight title bout between Makhachev and former interim titleholder Dustin Poirier.
“ champ,” Holland answered. “For sure, for sure. I think Khabib could have done the same thing if he wanted to…And I think Islam’s probably a little more scarier to deal with. He knocked out , and I don’t think Volk’s an easy person to put away…Scary, scary guy right there.” Jul 29, 2023; Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; Michael Chiesa fights Kevin Holland during UFC 291 at Delta Center.
