Stephen Thompson vs. Kevin Holland Odds
The UFC returns to Orlando on Saturday with a 14-fight card (7 p.m. ET, ESPN), highlighted by an exciting welterweight bout between Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson and Kevin Holland.
Holland will look to extend his official UFC welterweight record to 3-0 and claim Thompson’s No. 6 contender ranking spot. “Big Mouth” had previously climbed into the top 10 at middleweight before moving to 170 pounds last winter, where he looks massive for the weight class.
Thompson has spent his entire career at welterweight, twice challenging for a title (0-1-1 against Tyron Woodley in late 2016-2017) before turning into a gatekeeper for the division’s upper echelons in his late 30s.
Can Holland pass the Thompson test and put himself on the doorstep of title contention, or will Wonderboy stifle a rising talent again?
