It’s official: Kevin Holland will replace Darren Till to headline the UFC’s April 10 event against Marvin Vettori.
Just a few days ago, the UFC’s April 10th event loser one half of its headling bout. Darren Till had to pull out of his scheduled matchup against Marvin Vettori after reportedly injuring his collarbone during training.
As soon as the news broke, “Big Mouth” Kevin Holland presented himself as a replacement opponent. This was a man who was coming off a decision loss to Derek Brunson nearly two weeks ago.

Vettori, on the other hand, had two fights last year, most recently against fellow top-ten contender Jack Hermansson. He won by unanimous decision to take his win streak to four.
