A big fight at middleweight sets up #15 ranked Chris Curtis against the ever entertaining Kevin Holland at UFC 307 on Oct. 5.
First reported by Team Iridium.
Curtis (31-11) looks to bounce back from a loss to Brendan Allen in April. Prior to that he took a split decision victory over Marc-Andre Barriault at UFC 297. Always ready for a fight he’s taken on the likes of Phil Hawes, Joaquin Buckley, Kelvin Gastelum, and Jack Hermansson.
