Career history from the fighter's Wikipedia record table (Kevin Holland) — results only, no strike stats; UFC bouts are marked and carry full stats in the fight history above.
Division context
Measured against the division.
Versus the Welterweight average, over 190 qualified fighters (5+ UFC fights, 30+ minutes of cage time). Green = better than average, red = worse; the tick mark is the division mean. "Strikes absorbed" counts lower as better.
