Kevin Holland and Uros Medic fight to majority draw at UFC 334

Kevin Holland and Uros Medic could not be separated on the scorecards at UFC 334, with their welterweight bout ending in a majority draw after the full distance on Saturday, November 14.

The result leaves both men's records without a win or a loss to show for the night. Holland entered at 29-15-0, and Medic at 14-3-0.

Holland, 34, is ranked 15th at welterweight and fights out of Phalanx MMA Academy. The American stands six-foot-three with an 81-inch reach. He came in off a unanimous decision win over Randy Brown at UFC 327 on April 11, his most recent recorded fight, which followed back-to-back decision losses to Mike Malott and Daniel Rodriguez. He lands 4.26 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy and averages 0.83 takedowns per 15 minutes.

Medic, 33, sits 11th in the division and trains at Kings MMA. The southpaw is listed at six-foot-one with a 71-inch reach. His recent run is the sharpest of the pair: first-round knockouts of Muslim Salikhov, Geoff Neal and Daniel Rodriguez, the last of them on August 1. He lands 5.59 significant strikes per minute at 60 percent accuracy, and he has not attempted a submission per his career numbers.

Why it matters

• Medic's three straight first-round finishes were stretched to the distance for the first time in that run, and he could not turn the fight into another stoppage.
• Holland held a 10-inch reach advantage, yet Medic's striking output of 5.59 per minute edges Holland's 4.26 by 1.33 strikes, which helps explain how close the scoring was.
• Medic is ranked four places above Holland, and the draw keeps both men in place with no outright result to move either one.
• Holland's last two completed outings before the Brown win were decision losses, so a draw extends his string of fights going the distance.

The majority draw means two of the three judges saw the fight even, while the third favored one fighter.
