Kevin Holland defeated Michal Oleksiejczuk via technical submission at the 1:34 mark of the first round in a welterweight bout at UFC 302 on Saturday in Newark.

Holland secured a nasty armbar and appeared to hurt Oleksiejczuk's arm with the hold. Referee Herb Dean called off the fight despite no tap from Oleksiejczuk.

UFC color commentator Joe Rogan speculated that Oleksiejczuk's arm was broken or dislocated.

Holland returned to the win column after two straight losses to Michael "Venom" Page and Jack Della Maddalena. The No. 15-ranked welterweight moved back up to 185 pounds for the first time since 2021 for the short-notice bout against Oleksiejczuk.

Oleksiejczuk is now riding a two-fight skid and has lost three of his last four Octagon appearances.
