Kevin 'Trailblazer' Holland is one of the UFC's most active and entertaining fighters. Competing across middleweight and welterweight, he made his name fighting — and talking — almost constantly, highlighted by a viral 2020 run that included a knockout of Jacare Souza landed while Holland chatted from his back.
A long, creative striker with real power, he is dangerous on the feet but has been tested by elite grapplers, which has capped his ceiling near the top of the division. Detractors feel his showmanship sometimes outpaces his focus, but his flashy style and irrepressible personality make him a genuine fan favorite and one of the sport's best entertainers.
Why fans love Holland
Flashy, high-volume striking, relentless activity, and a hilarious, talkative personality that makes him one of the sport's best entertainers.
Why some fans hate Holland
Critics argue his trash talk and showmanship sometimes get ahead of his focus, and that his struggles against high-level wrestlers have capped his ceiling near the top of the division.
