Kevin Holland will compete in the welterweight division at UFC 316, facing Vicente Luque. Despite preliminary fights falling through, Holland views his matchup with Luque as a significant opportunity. He expressed eagerness about this fight, revealing it was a matchup he had longed for before. Holland believes that Luque, known for his resilience, may no longer take punishment as effectively as previously, based on his recent interviews. This adds a strategic edge to Holland's perspective as he prepares for their bout this weekend.
I wanted Vicente Luque the last time I came down to 70, was trying to go for a little run... it was always a name that I liked.
I'm used to it, that's been my whole career. They say 'kid, we need you,' 'I'm there!' 'We don't need you no more.' 'See you next week.'
Hopefully he can tap into his old self and show up. It's like, he usually takes punishment very well and delivers punishment right back.
I've seen a couple interviews where he's said a few things. He doesn't even believe he takes punishment as well as he used to.
