It was a successful transition from middleweight down to welterweight for the first time in Holland’s UFC tenure when he finished Alex Oliveira via second-round TKO at UFC 272. This victory ended a streak of three fights without a win, that included two losses in the main event to Derek Brunson and Marvin Vettori.
Means is defending his three-fight winning streak that includes victories over Mike Perry and Nicolas Dalby. and Laureano Staropoli. “Dirty Bird” will make his 25th octagon appearance.
