UFC on ABC 2 Results: Vettori vs. Holland
Following the blueprint laid out by Derek Brunson three weeks earlier, Marvin Vettori secured takedown after takedown to earn a unanimous decision win over Kevin Holland.
With ‘Trail Blazer’ taking the assignment of a short-notice main event, there was little time for Holland to develop his flawed takedown defense and that quickly showed as Vettori secured his first takedown of the night after three minutes.
While Holland wouldn’t be quite as vocal throughout the subsequent five rounds as he was against Brunson, Vettori would similarly look to ground his opponent as frequently as possible and would set the middleweight record for most takedowns in a fight with 11 once it was all said and done.
