We ll have fun for 5 - Kevin Holland gives his gameplan for the last minute matchup against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 279 By
Will Miles Modified 10 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Khamzat Chimaev (left), Kevin Holland (right) UFC welterweight Kevin Holland has revealed that it was at his request that his fight with Khamzat Chimaev will be five rounds. 'Trailblazer' was originally scheduled to face Daniel Rodriguez in a 180lbs catchweight bout on this weekend's card, but Chimaev's 7.5lbs weight-miss has forced the entire event to be reshuffled.

You're one of the biggest superstars in the sport, on your way up and you're going to miss weight by that much. Absolutely terrible look for you." The No.3-ranked welterweight now faces the unranked Kevin Holland in a catchweight bout. 'Borz' will have everything to lose and prove, while 'Trailblazer' has seemingly everything to gain.
