Added to UFC Rotterdam against Thibault Gouti
Holbrook will face Thibault Gouti in a lightweight bout at UFC Fight Night 115 on September 2 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
ANALYSIS
Holbrook maintains a 2-2 UFC record (12-2 overall) with two split decision victories and two KO/TKO losses called within 0:35 of the fight's start. He has historically preferred the ground game but has had trouble utilizing it since joining the promotion in 2015. While the American claims nine submission wins, his striking game is weak. If he can't take his opponents down to the mat, he will continue to struggle until something changes.
