This Saturday's UFC Fight Night event will feature Kevin Holland, one of UFC's hottest rising stars, against Derek Brunson, a longtime veteran of the middleweight division.
Holland tied a UFC record for most wins in a calendar year with five victories in 2020, including four knockout finishes. While Holland is ranked at 10th in the middleweight division, a win in the UFC Fight Night main event could vault him into title contention. The same goes for Brunson, who has posted three consecutive victories since losing to eventual middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in 2018.
The fight will be broadcast from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on March 20, starting at 7:30 p.m. ET. All of UFC Fight Night will stream on ESPN+ as part of a subscription for $6 a month or $60 a year. You can also watch the prelims live on ESPN2 and the main event on ESPN.
UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs. Holland will be held without fans in attendance due to the coronavirus pandemic. UFC has consistently implemented safety precautions for fighters and staff during the pandemic, including advanced medical screenings, regular testing, temperature checks, and social distancing guidelines. UFC President Dana White recently announced that UFC 261 will be held with a full crowd in Jacksonville Florida on April 24.
