Kevin Holland has expressed interest in matching or breaking Donald Cerrone's record for reaching 30 UFC fights in the shortest time. Holland is approaching his 30th UFC bout after debuting in 2018, having already fought 29 times in the promotion. Cerrone's record stands at 7 years, 11 months, and 14 days. To break this record, Holland would need to fight by July 11, which coincidentally is the date of UFC 329 during international fight week. Holland competed just last weekend, putting him on track to potentially achieve this milestone if given the opportunity.
Kevin Holland has set his sights on one of the UFC's most durable records, positioning himself to potentially surpass Donald Cerrone's mark for reaching 30 promotional appearances in the shortest span of time. Holland is on the cusp of his 30th UFC bout, and a booking on July 11 — the date of UFC 329 during International Fight Week — would give him the chance to break Cerrone's benchmark of 7 years, 11 months, and 14 days. Holland competed just last weekend, meaning the timeline is very much alive.
Holland, 33, fights out of Phalanx MMA Academy and carries a professional record of 29-15-0. Known by the nickname "Trailblazer," the six-foot-three orthodox striker brings an 81-inch reach into every fight and has debuted in the UFC in 2018. He lands 4.26 significant strikes per minute at a 49 percent accuracy rate, making him one of the more active and precise volume strikers in the promotion.
The record he is chasing belongs to Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone, now 43, whose 36-17-0 ledger was built over a career defined by relentless activity. The six-foot-one veteran from BMF Ranch averaged 4.41 significant strikes per minute across his UFC tenure at 46 percent accuracy, while also contributing 1.16 takedowns and 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes — numbers that reflect just how versatile and durable Cerrone was across weight classes and opponents.
Why it matters
- Holland needs a confirmed booking by July 11 to break Cerrone's frequency record
- UFC 329 during International Fight Week would serve as the ideal stage for the milestone
- Achieving the record would cement Holland's place alongside Cerrone as one of the most active fighters in UFC history
- Holland fought as recently as last weekend, demonstrating the sustained pace required to chase down the mark
