UPDATE 1st December 2022
Roman Doldize discussed his bout with Jack Hermansson at the event after Derek Brunson had to pull out at short notice (via Cageside Press)!
He said: "It’s a big opportunity first of all, let’s start from this. And of course I’m always ready. When I’m saying ‘just give me good fights, and I will fight,’ it’s not just words. Other guys probably talk a lot, but don’t do nothing. But I’m here to do stuff, and talk less."

Has Kevin Holland retired from UFC?
Kevin Holland insists he has unfinished business with Kyle Daukaus
Holland revealed back in October 2022 that he had ‘retired’ from the sport of Mixed Martial Arts, stating whilst promoting his new podcast (via MMAFighting):
“So I’m retired. I’m officially retired. I’m retired from fighting. I had a good fight, good payday, I had a good run. I see some of the people online [saying] ‘obviously he realizes he’ll never get the belt’ and my little psychedelic trip, that means I was wrong.
“I can’t be wrong on a psychedelic trip. I’ve lost coming out to Young Boy. That was my last hope, never losing coming out to Young Boy. Times are rough for your boy. But I’m really, really happy on the green side. Unless something super-duper magical pops up, yeah, I’m pretty happy with the way things are.”
Obviously, something changed, as he is set to main event this card in December 2022!
