#2. Kevin Holland vs. Michel Pereira

In terms of just pure entertainment, Kevin Holland vs. Michel Pereira has to take the prize. Pereira has proven to be an absolute wild man in the octagon, regularly throwing a huge variety of outlandish and unorthodox techniques at his opponents.

However, as of late, Pereira has clearly begun taking his MMA career more seriously. He still utilizes the crazy moves, but now with a clearer purpose and end goal behind them.

A fight between him and Holland would no doubt result in fireworks and establish the long-time middleweight's place inside the welterweight division.

#1. Kevin Holland vs. Daniel Rodriguez

Daniel Rodriguez may not be the biggest name in the welterweight division, but he is a solid action fighter who until recently was ranked within the top 15. A win over 'D-Rod' would certainly catapult Holland straight into the rankings.

However, Daniel Rodriguez is no walk in the park. The gritty striker has wins over Tim Means, Mike Perry and Kevin Lee, proving his ability to hang with the MMA elite.

Holland also stated in the UFC 271 post-fight presser that Daniel Rodriguez is the opponent that he is hoping for next.
