The fight between Jack Della Maddalena and Kevin Holland has been officially set for the Noche UFC event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on September 16.
The announcement for this welterweight clash was made by the UFC on Friday.
This particular fight was organized after the Noche UFC card lost a significant welterweight bout, with Kelvin Gastelum having to withdraw from his planned fight against rapidly advancing contender Shavkat Rakhmonov.
Jack Della Maddalena is making his comeback following a chaotic series of circumstances related to his most recent UFC 290 fight. During that time, he lost his original opponent Sean Brady, and then his replacement Josiah Harrell was withdrawn due to a discovered medical condition during pre-fight checks.
Despite the setbacks, Della Maddalena competed a week later at UFC Vegas 77, achieving a closely contested split decision victory over newcomer Bassil Hafez in a thrilling three-round fight. This victory marked his fifth win in the UFC, with four of those ending in finishes.
On the other hand, Kevin Holland, an experienced welterweight fighter, is aiming for his third consecutive win, following his impressive victories over Michael Chiesa and Santiago Ponzinibbio. Holland’s match against Chiesa at UFC 291 in July was particularly remarkable, as he secured a win in less than three minutes by applying a D’arce choke, leading to a tap in the first round.
Holland is now targeting a victory against Della Maddalena, an Australian fighter who has gained significant attention since he first obtained his UFC contract through Dana White’s Contender Series.
The Noche UFC card will be topped by a rematch for the flyweight title, featuring a showdown between reigning champion Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko.
