Kevin Holland aims for key UFC milestone before retirement

Kevin Holland plans to mark his retirement following his 38th UFC fight, targeting a return on July 18 at UFC Fight Night 281 against Jacobe Smith. With a current record of 19-15 MMA and 16-12 UFC, Holland acknowledges his fight mileage and expresses a desire to enjoy his career while remaining true to himself. He has a goal of closing the gap on Donald Cerrone's 38 UFC fights but does not expect to surpass the record held by Jim Miller. The 33-year-old wants to create a balance between competition and personal satisfaction during his remaining time in the octagon.
