After closing out 2022 with back-to-back losses to Khamzat Chimaev and Stephen Thompson, Holland managed to get back up on his feet and is now on a two-fight win streak. He fought Santiago Ponzinibbio last April and scored a knockout win in UFC 287. Then he followed that up with another sensational victory, submitting via Michael Chiesa D’Arce choke in UFC 291 which also earned him a Performance of the Night honors.
Holland does not only have momentum going for him heading into this matchup versus Della Maddalena. He also has some physical advantages over his upcoming opponent. Holland is four inches taller and has a significant eight-inch reach advantage.

Jack Della Maddalena is really a fighter UFC and MMA fans should be paying close attention to. This man is on a tear, having not lost a fight since 2016. After dropping his first two fights as a professional, Jack Della Maddalena has gone on to win 15 fights in a row. He started his UFC career with three consecutive knockout victories before submitting Randy Brown last February.
In his most recent fight, Della Maddalena scored a split decision victory over Bassil Hafez in last July’s UFC on ESPN: Holm vs. Bueno Silva. It’s safe to say that Della Maddalena is an explosive striker, and while he’s not as much of a grappler as Holland is, the Australian’s win against Brown showed that he’s also capable of pulling off a surprise on the ground. Della Maddalena also has four first-round finishes in his last five fights and eight overall in his pro career that started in 2016.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Kevin Holland vs Jack Della Maddalena
Holland has proven in his last two fights that he still is a big threat inside the Octagon. But this will be Della Maddalena’s breakout night, as he beats the older Holland via KO.
Prediction:
Della Maddalena wins via KO.
