Undefeated Welterweight Prospect Jacobe Smith Calls Out Kevin Holland

Undefeated UFC welterweight prospect Jacobe Smith has set his sights on a future matchup with Kevin Holland. Following his recent 92-second victory over late-notice replacement Bruce Whitehead at UFC 332, which improved his professional record to 13-0, Smith expressed frustration regarding past dealings with Holland.

Smith, who competed at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on October 3, 2026, indicated that he feels unfinished business with the veteran fighter. He cited the necessity of enduring two separate fight camps to prepare for Holland as a primary motivator for his desire to face him in the Octagon. Smith suggested he is looking for a definitive and violent resolution to the rivalry.

While Smith continues to build momentum in the welterweight division, his aggressive callout highlights his desire to test himself against established UFC names. As a high-finish rate prospect who recently showcased his striking efficiency, Smith remains an intriguing fighter for fantasy managers to track as he climbs the divisional ladder. Whether the UFC opts to pair the surging prospect with a veteran like Holland remains to be seen.
