Holland Faces Explosive Striker Uros Medic at UFC 334

  • Holland enters UFC 334 on the heels of a busy 2025 campaign where he compiled a 2-3 record across five fights.
  • Opponent Uros Medic presents an explosive stylistic threat, with his last six bouts lasting under two minutes.
  • Future bouts will depend on how quickly Holland moves through his newly signed Ultimate Fighting Championship contract.

Holland returns to action on Saturday at Madison Square Garden for UFC 334, taking on Serbian knockout artist Uros Medic. The matchup marks Holland’s second appearance of 2026, a sharp reduction in activity compared to the previous year when the fighter known as “Trailblazer” stepped into the Octagon five times, finishing that stretch with a 2-3 record.

At 34 years old, Holland is already charting his exit from the sport.

In an interview with Full Send MMA, he stated, “I didn’t plan on doing mixed martial arts past 36. If I had to stay til 37, that’d be great. I’m not looking to run around and fight a bunch of young guys or a bunch of guys that just wanna sniff my balls for f–king three rounds, you know what I mean?”

“I’m here to put on fun fights for the fans, collect a good check, and just stay out of the way,” Holland told Full Send MMA.

According to Holland, he recently signed a new deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship that he intends to fight through before walking away permanently. “We’re almost done, 100%,” he said to Full Send MMA.

“I got a little brother who fights now, and he’s my favorite fighter to watch fight. He’s my favorite person to help train and get ready for a fight, and I got a whole gym. I love fighting, but you can’t do this s–t forever. I got a nice new contract, and I guarantee you, it won’t take me long to get through it,” Holland told Full Send MMA.
