One of the most reliable hunters of the UFC when it comes to picking up the phone is often in and out of the profit column.
The Octagon returns this Saturday evening to London, England, where Leon Edwards wants to close the show with a reminder of the rest of the Welterweight division.
Another competitor who hopes to make some noise on 170 pounds on his return to the division is 'big mouth'
Kevin Holland seems to bounce back from successive middleweight defeats when he falls back a weight class to face a recurring Gunnar Nelson.
As a hunter who is known for his willingness to fight against everyone at any time, the fan's favorite has yielded a few highlights during his time in the promotion, but there is one victory on a rival of his that Holland especially liked Joaquin Buckley in 2020.

Kevin Holland says that his victory over Joaquin Buckley might be the best of his career to date
2020 was a historic year for Kevin Holland, because he was the UFC record equal to most victories in a calendar year with five.
After beating Anthony Hernandez in May, 'trail blower' returned for his second fight of the year in August, where he was confronted with a debut Joaquin Buckley.
After he had considerably removed Buckley in the previous two rounds and insured a knockdown, Holland placed the Kers at the top of his performance in the third.
'Big Mouth' has talked a lot, but the beautiful right hand he landed on his opponent without follow -up recordings, spoke even louder and earned him a performance of the night bonus.
Since then, while Holland has continued to go up and down the weight classes, Buckley went to good weight after a mixed series of results of 185 pounds.
He has now won six consecutive fights with a victory over Colby Covington the previous time-out and earned him the #6 ranking on 170 pounds.
In a recent interview with TNT Sports, Holland was asked what the best victory of his career is to date to which he answered 'New Mansa' whether he can continue the run that he is currently on.
“Best victory of my career? Buckley if he goes and gets a title.”
Kevin Holland opted for the best fight and knock -out in the UFC history
Later in the video, Kevin Holland was given the task of calling the best fight and knockout in the UFC history and he chose himself on both occasions.
His knock -out voice went to another victory that he produced in 2020, where he closed his incredible year by somehow switching Ronaldo 'Jacare' Souza from his back at UFC 256.
For the best fight, he went with his main event conflict with Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson who ended in the fourth round after Holland's corner pulled him out of the fight because of a broken hand.
Regardless of whether it is always the best move for his career or not, you cannot doubt the willingness of Holland to place themselves in the shooting line where possible.
