The UFC makes their second appearance on ABC while also debuting their new Venum fight kits as MMASucka provides UFC Vegas 23 results all day. Appearing in his second straight main event, Marvin Vettori will be taking on Kevin Holland, who took this fight on just over a week’s notice.

Entering this fight, Vettori has won his last four straight as he continues his campaign for gold. Had it not been for a number of fight cancellations, Vettori could have very well made it into the top three by now, but that was not how things would work out. When he does step foot into the octagon, he is very good. As stated previously, he has won his last four straight, which includes decision wins over Cezar Ferreira and Andrew Sanchez plus a submission win over Karl Roberson. In his last fight, which was his first main event, Vettori defeated Jack Hermansson by unanimous decision to put him at number six in the division.
As for Holland, this will be his seventh appearance in the octagon since the beginning of 2020. During 2020, Holland put together an undefeated record of 5-0. During that time, he picked up TKO wins over Anthony Hernandez, Joaquin Buckley and Charlie Ontiveros as well as a decision win over Darren Stewart. In his final fight of the year, Holland finished Ronaldo Souza by first round knockout at UFC 256. Following his undefeated 2020, Holland earned a main event spot against Derek Brunson where his win streak would unfortunately be snapped as Brunson defeated him by unanimous decision.

Taking him on will be Yusuff, who has won his last six straight and also holds an undefeated UFC record of 4-0. He also appeared only one time last year as he defeated Andre Fili by unanimous decision to put his professional record at 11-1.
