Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight fan favorite Kevin Holland will face heavy-hitting contender Randy Brown at UFC 327 on Sat., April 11, 2026, inside the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. Social media user Kevin K was first to report the matchup.
Holland (28-15) stayed busy in 2025, competing five times — but the results were mixed. “Trailblazer” opened the year with a submission loss to Reinier de Ridder at UFC 311 (watch highlights) before bouncing back with wins over Gunnar Nelson and Vicente Luque, the latter coming via submission at UFC 316 (watch highlights).

Holland dropped a fun unanimous decision to Daniel Rodriguez later in the year and then suffered a setback against Mike Mallott in his most recent outing. He’s now 5-6 across his last 11 fights — a stretch that perfectly sums up the chaos that follows him every time he steps into the Octagon.
Brown (20-7), meanwhile, is looking to rebound from a second-round stoppage loss to Gabriel Bonfim in his first UFC main event appearance (watch highlights). Before that, “Rude Boy” scored one of 2024’s nastiest knockouts, flattening Nicolas Dalby in highlight-reel fashion (watch highlights).

With both men standing 6-foot-3 and known for striking flair, range weapons, and durability, Holland vs. Brown has “Fight of the Night” written all over it.
