Although he’s had mixed results lately, his four wins have been against well-known names like Leonardo Santos and Michael Johnson. Penn and Joe Lauzon.
Holtzman makes his 20th pro appearance and 13th for the UFC, having gone 7-5 inside the octagon thus far. Holtzman was knocked out by Mateusz Gamrot in the second round of his April fight. In his two previous appearances, he was defeated by strikes.
