Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza needed a new foe for UFC 256 after Marvin Vettori was moved to UFC Vegas 16 and now he has one in Kevin Holland.

The news was announced during the UFC Vegas 15 broadcast.

Souza (26-8-0-1NC) enters the contest riding a two-fight losing streak with those losses coming to Jack Hermansson and Jan Blachowicz. Souza hasn’t picked up a victory in almost two years, with that last win coming over Chris Weidman at UFC 230.
