UFC Fight Night: Derek Brunson vs. Kevin Holland date, time, TV channel, live stream

A marquee headliner goes down on Saturday night from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nev., when No. 7-ranked Derek Brunson battles No. 10-ranked Kevin Holland in middleweight action. 

Brunson looks to take down another rising star. In his last time out, Brunson stopped Edmen Shahbazyan in the third round back in August. The perennial middleweight contender is riding a three-fight winning streak since losing to current middleweight kingpin Israel Adesanya at UFC 230. 

Holland took the MMA world by storm in 2020. He competed five times in the final seven months, winning all of them including four via stoppage. Most recently, Holland notched the biggest victory of them of all when he knocked out former Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza in the first round.

A win for Brunson puts him in the top five and closer to that elusive title shot. For Holland, it's a victory in his first-ever UFC main event and a chance to extend his winning streak to six and vault himself into the top five.
