LAS VEGAS –  Kevin Holland is in the thick of his first weight cut down to the UFC welterweight division, and he said everything so far is going according to plan ahead of UFC 272 . After spending all of his octagon appearances to date in the middleweight division, Holland (21-7 MMA, 7-4 UFC) finally decided to pull the trigger on a long-discussed dropdown. He’ll have his introduction to the division on Saturday when he meets Alex Oliveira (21-11-1 MMA, 11-9 UFC) on the pay-per-view main card at T-Mobile Arena. Holland had mixed results at 185 pounds, but admits there were some downsides to fighting in that division
