LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 23: Vettori vs. Holland results throughout the afternoon (Sat. 10th. April 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taking main event status in a short-notice clash, surging middleweight contender, Marvin ‘The Italian Dream’ Vettori headlines his second straight promotional event, as does short-notice replacement, Kevin ‘Trailblazer’ Holland — who replaces former welterweight title challenger, Darren Till who suffered a broken collarbone last week.

Arriving off the back of a unanimous decision victory over former Cage Warriors welterweight titleholder, Jack Hermansson in December, Kings MMA staple, Vettori extended his undefeated streak to four-fights. With his most recnet loss coming in April 2018 in the form of a split decision defeat to current champion, Israel Adesanya, the Trento native has scored wins over Cezar Ferreira, Andrew Sanchez, Karl Roberson, and Hermansson since.

Making a record-tying twenty-one day turnaround, Holland will attempt to return to the winner’s enclosure following a unanimous decision shutout loss to middleweight staple, Derek Brunson just three weeks ago at UFC Vegas 22.

The defeat snapped a five-fight undefeated surge for the 28-year-old striker, following successes over Anthony Hernandez, Joaquin Buckley, Darren Stewart, Charlie Ontiveros, and a December knockout win over Jacare Souza.

In the co-headlining clash, streaking featherweights, Arnold Allen and Sodiq Yusuff in a bout which on paper, promises fireworks.

LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC 260: Miocic vs. Ngannou II results throughout the afternoon (Sat. 27th. March 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taking main event honours in the promotion’s return to a pay-per-view schedule, a massive heavyweight championship rematch between the consensus greatest heavyweight of all time, as Stipe Miocic looks to defend his championship against 2018 foe, the devasatating puncher, Francis Ngannou.

Hoping to improve to 2-0 over the Cameroonian challenger, Miocic took home a dominant unanimous decision victory over Ngannou at UFC 220 back in January of 2018, handing Ngannou his first promotional defeat.

In the time since, Miocic featured in a trilogy against two-weight champion, Daniel Cormier, with the former taking bragging-rights last August at UFC 252, taking a unanimous judging win over Cormier, ending the tie with a 2-1 record.

Following a consecutive defeat to Derrick Lewis in arguably the most forgettable matchup the division has ever seen, the Xtreme Couture trainee has returned to the top of the heavyweight pile, with a quartet of opening minute knockout victories over Curtis Bladyes, Cain Velasquez, Junior dos Santos, and last May — stopped Jairzinho Rozenstruik in just twenty-seconds.

Featuring in a promoted co-main event, former welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley returns, attempting to snap a three-fight slide as he matches against the gritty #10 ranked, Vicente Luque.

Dropping a trio of defeats to Kamaru Usman, Gilbert Burns, and Colby Covington, Woodley’s most recent victory came back in September of 2018, stopping Darren Till with a second round D’Arce to score his third and final welterweight title defence.

For New Jersey born finisher, Luque, he’s rebounded from a one-sided unanimous decision loss to Stephen Thompson back in November of 2019, to lodge two massive knockout wins over both Niko Price, and Randy Brown in May and August of last year, respectively.
