Uroš Medić is set to make his third UFC appearance of 2026 this Saturday at UFC 334, where he meets Kevin Holland in a welterweight bout. The Serbian arrives on a four-fight winning streak in which every victory has come by first-round stoppage.
Medić's run, as laid out in the story, began with a loss to Punahele Soriano and has since produced stoppages of Gilbert Urbina, Muslim Salikhov, Geoff Neal and Daniel Rodriguez. Urbina, Neal and Rodriguez were knockouts, while the Salikhov win was a TKO, and all four ended in Round 1.
Holland, nicknamed "Trailblazer," brings a 29-15-0 record and sits at number 15 in the welterweight rankings. The 34-year-old American trains out of Phalanx MMA Academy and stands six-foot-three with an 81-inch (206 cm) reach. He lands 4.26 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy, averages 0.83 takedowns per 15 minutes and attempts 0.5 submissions over the same span.
His recent form is mixed. Holland beat Randy Brown by unanimous decision at UFC 327 on April 11, 2026, which is his most recent recorded fight. Before that he dropped back-to-back unanimous decisions, to Mike Malott on October 18, 2025 and to Daniel Rodriguez at UFC 318 on July 19, 2025. Rodriguez is the same man Medić knocked out in the first round during his current run, giving the two fighters a shared opponent.
Why it matters
- Medić can stretch his streak of first-round finishes to five straight if he stops Holland early.
- Holland, ranked 15th, is a recognizable name at 170 pounds, and a win over him would raise Medić's profile in the division.
- Holland's last three recorded fights all went the full three rounds, while Medić has not needed a second round in four fights.
- Holland carries a long reach at 81 inches, a tool he can use to keep range against a heavy-handed finisher.
The matchup sets a durable, experienced veteran against a fighter who has built his recent momentum on speed and power, and it comes just days before the event.
