Kevin Holland continues to have a busy 2020.

Holland will step in for the injured Krzysztof Jotko and meet Makhmud Muradov at UFC Fight Night 181 on Oct. 31. Cageside Press was first to report the new bout, while Jotko announced his injury on social media.

“Unfortunately, my next fight against Makhmud won’t happen,” Jotko wrote. “This camp wasn’t easy from the start. Few days ago at sparrings I broke my toe, so there is no way to fight.

“So sorry Makhmud Muradov that I’m out from the fight with two weeks’ notice. Hope to see you soon in the octagon!”

Holland will be competing for the fourth time this year and third time in the past three months. Since May, “Trailblazer” has bested Anthony Hernandez, Joaquin Buckley and Darren Stewart in UFC competition.

Uzbekistan’s Muradov is currently on a 13-bout professional winning streak. He kicked off his promotional tenure with a decision triumph over Alessio Di Chirico at UFC Fight Night 160 and a knockout of Trevor Smith at UFC on ESPN 7.

UFC Fight Night 181 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a middleweight showdown between Anderson Silva and Uriah Hall.
