Injury forces Darren Till out of UFC on ABC 2 vs. Marvin Vettori; Kevin Holland offers services

Darren Till won’t be fighting April 10, but will Kevin Holland?

The UFC is in need of a new main event for UFC on ABC 2 – and a volunteer has already raised his hand.

Due to a collarbone injury, [autotag]Darren Till[/autotag] has withdrawn from the April 10 headliner against [autotag]Marvin Vettori[/autotag], sources with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie on Tuesday.

ESPN was first to report the bout was canceled following a tweet from Vettori (16-4-1 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC), which expressed anger at the situation.

Always do my part 100% and these bunch of p*ssies can’t make it,” Vettori wrote. “I’m next in line for the title, whoever has something to say show the fuck up in 2 weeks so I can whoop your ass and shut you off for good

While Vettori, whose recent career has been plagued with opponent withdrawals, doesn’t appear to be keen on fighting a replacement, [autotag]Kevin Holland[/autotag] has volunteered to step into the spot voided by Till (18-3-1 MMA, 6-3-1 UFC). His manager Oren Hodak told MMA Junkie on Tuesday that they have accepted the fight but are waiting to hear back from the UFC.

Holland (21-6 MMA, 8-3 UFC) recently partook in his first promotional headliner at UFC on ESPN 21 – a unanimous decision loss to Derek Brunson. Holland lacked offensive success, but talked the entire fight. His performance led UFC president Dana White to make the comment that Holland had a “mental breakdown” during the fight
