UFC 302 Update: Kevin Holland vs. Michal Oleksiejczuk Added to Main Card
Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports


A middleweight clash pitting Kevin Holland against Michal Oleksiejczuk
has been added to the UFC 302 main draw.

The pairing was announced during the UFC on ESPN 56 broadcast on Saturday night. UFC 302 takes place on June 1 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, and is headlined by a lightweight championship bout between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier.

Holland began his promotional tenure at 185 pounds but has been competing primarily at welterweight in recent years. “Trailblazer” is coming off back-to-back losses against Michael Page and Jack Della Maddalena in his last two Octagon appearances.

Oleksiejczuk has lost two of his last three bouts under the UFC banner. Most recently, the 29-year-old Pole was submitted by Michel Pereira in the opening stanza at UFC 299 this past March.
