The main card kicks off with a thrilling welterweight clash between #14-ranked Vicente Luque and one of the division’s most entertaining fighters, Kevin Holland.
Holland has been very active this year — this will be his third Octagon appearance in 2025. He won his last fight by decision and remains a dangerous striker on the feet. While betting odds favor him slightly, this will be far from an easy matchup.
Luque, on the other hand, hasn’t fought since December 2024. His last outing ended in a brutal knockout loss to Joaquin Buckley. Fighters often return more fragile after such knockouts, and that may be a factor here.
Holland will enjoy a reach advantage with his long arms and legs, giving him better range control. His main weakness, however, is his poor defense against wrestlers.
Luque has earned 11 of his 23 career wins via Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, making him a legitimate threat on the ground. If he can avoid getting caught against the fence, bring the fight to the ground, and steer clear of Holland’s sharp strikes, he has a solid path to victory.
On the feet, Holland is the superior striker. This makes for a dynamic matchup — one that promises fireworks both standing and on the mat.
It’s a fight that may not need the judges. An explosive start to the night awaits.
