Kevin Holland has offered to step in for Darren Till.

It was announced earlier today that Till would no longer be competing against Marvin Vettori in the UFC Vegas 23 headliner taking place April 10 due to a broken collarbone.

That naturally didn’t come as pleasing news for Vettori who has had a history of opponents failing to show up or pulling out.

“Always do my part 100% and these bunch of pussies can’t make it,” Vettori wrote. “Im next in line for the title, whoever has something to say show the fuck up in 2 weeks so I can whoop your ass and shut you off for good.”

Fortunately for Vettori, there is one middleweight who is down to fight anyone, anytime in Holland.

Holland — who went 5-0 in 2020 — has already accepted a short-notice fight with Vettori despite only losing a unanimous decision to Derek Brunson 10 days ago.

“I already accepted the fight an hour ago….. #callbigmouth”

All that is left is for Vettori’s side to agree to the fight.

“Kevin Holland has accepted to step in on short notice versus Marvin Vettori on April 10. His team says they are waiting on a reply from the other side, I’m told.”

The official poster for UFC Vegas 23 featuring Darren Till and Marvin Vettori has been released.

The pair will compete in a middleweight headliner in the upcoming UFC Fight Night event taking place April 10 at the Apex facility in Las Vegas. It will also notably be airing on ABC.

The winner of the fight could very well get the next middleweight title shot, especially if Robert Whittaker were to lose against Kelvin Gastelum in their middleweight headliner which takes place a week later. For now, though, Till and Vettori must compete against each other in what promises to be an explosive affair.

And the promotion released the official poster for the event on Wednesday. You can view it below:

Till seems to be a fan of the poster as he revealed he couldn’t wait to perform for everyone.

“Got to be one of the sickest posters @ufc have produced… Can’t wait to perform now.”

Till will be looking to return to the win column against Vettori.

The Liverpool native suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Whittaker last summer in what was his first defeat since moving up to middleweight in 2019. His middleweight debut saw him successfully outpoint Gastelum over three rounds.

Vettori, meanwhile, is on a four-fight winning streak and is coming off a unanimous decision verdict over Jack Hermansson in December.
