Kevin Holland has been booked to face Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza at UFC 256 on December 12.
‘Trailblazer’ was supposed to fight Jack Hermansson in the main event of UFC Vegas 16 which is set to take place on December 5. Unfortunately, Holland was forced out of that fight on Saturday due to a positive test for COVID-19. The 28-year-old immediately announced his intention to quickly return to the Octagon despite contracting the virus and will do so when he takes on middleweight legend ‘Jacare’ in two weeks’ time.
Ariel Helwani took to Twitter to announce that Holland will face ‘Jacare’ in two weeks’ time.
“Kevin Holland will now face Jacare Souza at UFC 256 on 12/12 after having to pull out of next weekend’s main event due to testing positive for COVID,” Helwani wrote. “Vettori x Hermansson is on for next weekend’s headliner, per the broadcast.”
The Brazilian was originally set to fight Marvin Vettori next week. However the Italian was bumped up to the main event slot opposite Hermansson yesterday, meaning ‘Jacare’ was in search of a new opponent. However his search didn’t last long and the UFC moved Holland into another big fight in the hope he will have fully recovered from the coronavirus by the time UFC 256 comes around.
Holland has scored four consecutive wins in 2020. Last time out he beat Charlie Ontiveros. Prior to that he edged out Darren Stewart after he knocked out viral sensation Joaquin Buckley and Anthony Hernandez. Holland would make UFC history by beating ‘Jacare’ to become the lone middleweight fighter in company history to notch five wins in one calendar year.
‘Jacare’ was supposed to face off against Uriah Hall at UFC 249 earlier this year. Unfortunately, the Brazilian tested positive for the coronavirus and that fight was scrapped. Souza is on riding a two-fight losing streak the first of his professional career. The 40-year-old having dropped a decision to Jack Hermansson before stepping up to light-heavyweight and being edged out by the Jan Blachowicz who has since become 205lb champion. ‘Jacare’ will be looking to return to the win column and enter middleweight title contention again by beating Holland at UFC 256.
Who wins at UFC 256? Kevin Holland or ‘Jacare’ Souza?

Kevin Holland has tested positive for COVID-19 and been pulled from his main event fight opposite Jack Hermansson which was supposed to take place on December 5.
Holland initially received the call to face off against the #4 ranked middleweight contender Hermansson after Darren Till fell out due to injury.
Veteran MMA reporter Ariel Helwani broke the bad news on social media and also announced that Marvin Vettori is likely to step up and face Hermansson next weekend.
“Kevin Holland is out of next weekend’s main event against Jack Hermansson due to a positive COVID test, per multiple sources,” Helwani wrote. “Current plan is for Hermansson to now fight Marvin Vettori in the main event of next weekend’s show, sources say, though, no bout agreement issued yet. Vettori was slated to fight Jacare Souza at UFC 256 on 12/12. No word just yet on what this means for Souza.”
Just moments later Holland took to Twitter to confirm the report and announce his intention to return to the Octagon as soon as possible, he wrote.
“I have been pulled from my main event bout next weekend due to a positive pre fight covid test. Hoping to test clean and get back inside the cage ASAP.”
Holland was set to compete in his fifth UFC bout of 2020. ‘Trailblazer’ is currently 4-0 for the calendar year and had hoped l to secure a middleweight ranking after stepping up on late notice.
Hermansson got back to winning ways last time out with a quick submission victory over Kelvin Gastelum. Before that, he was knocked out by Jared Cannonier. The former Cage Warriors champion holds several high profile wins over the likes over Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza, David Branch and Thales Leites.

Jack Hermansson plans on making a statement next month.
Hermansson is set to take on short-notice opponent Kevin Holland in a middleweight bout in the UFC Vegas 16 headliner on December 5. “The Joker” was originally slated to face Darren Till only for injury to rule out the Liverpool native.
And with as many as five ranked opponents turning him down, Hermansson ultimately decided to face the streaking but unranked Holland who is 4-0 in 2020.
Hermansson does rate Holland’s skills highly, but with three first-round submission wins in his last four victories, the Swede believes any fighter he gets to the ground is already on their way to losing.
This time, however, he plans on showcasing some ground and pound.
“He looks pretty technical, but at the same time, I gave a lot of black belts trouble, and I really, really believe in my skills, and I know that if I get him to the ground, he’s gonna have a rough day for sure,” Hermansson told MMA Junkie. “… I’m gonna go in there, I’m gonna go after him, and it’s gonna be a first-round finish.
“Probably ground and pound again, good ol’ ground and pound. I’m gonna remind the world what I can bring to the table. People have been watching some of my submission skills lately. It’s time to get those fists into action again.”
There is plenty of risk and little reward in facing Holland.
Hermansson acknowledges this — especially as he was in Holland’s position when he faced Jacare Souza last year — but ultimately believes if he is to become champion one day, he will have to eventually beat everyone in the division. That includes Holland.
“I’m really looking to make a statement and to show that I’m on the next level, and so that’s definitely my plan,” Hermansson added. “A loss would be devastating of course, but I’m willing to take that chance. I really believe I can be the best in the world and that I can beat Israel Adesanya, and to be ready to do that, I need to be ready to beat Kevin Holland, as well, so I’m not relying on having one lucky day out there.
“If I’m gonna be the champ, I’m gonna be the one that can beat everybody in the division.”
