The latest UFC Fight Night is an interesting one, with a quirk of fate leading to a last-minute change to the main event.
Darren Till was set to return to the Octagon in a clash against fellow contender Marvin Vettori that would have put the winner into the conversation for a future middleweight championship fight. However the Brit suffered a broken collarbone late last month and had to withdraw.
On April 1, the Italian's replacement opponent was confirmed as Kevin Holland, which caught many off-guard given that Holland last fought as recently as Mar. 20 in a disappointing decision loss to Derek Brunson. Holland will look to erase the bitter memories of that performance fast and bounce back at the expense of Vettori.
Here's how you can watch UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Holland.
