Amedovski has seen multiple fight bookings fall through since his last UFC appearance in September 2019.
Joseph Holmes
Joseph Holmes saw his UFC debut end in defeat to Jamie Pickett, with his opponent grinding out the win through clinching exchanges.
Holmes has previously fought in Bellator and earned his shot in the UFC with a second-round submission win on Dana White’s Contender Series in October.
Alen Amedovski
Alen Amedovski has spent over two and half years out of the octagon since a flash first-round knockout loss to John Phillips in September 2019.
The Macedonian saw a fight against Yaozong Hu fall through in the week leading up to UFC 264 due to COVID-related issues. The former Bellator fighter is 0-2 in the UFC.
How they match up
Joseph Holmes is the much-younger man at 26 years old compared to his opponent who is 34.
Holmes is also significantly taller at 6”4 and will also have a huge 6-inch reach advantage.
Despite the age difference, Amedovski has just one more fight on his pro record with 10.
Reasons to watch
Joseph Holmes is an exciting fighter who has finished all seven of his career victories. He will face a similarly dangerous man in Alen Amedovski, who will bring a 100% finishing rate to the Octagon (all by KO).
The stakes
Neither of these fighters has recorded a victory in the UFC, but there is still plenty of time.
Another loss for Amedovski would put him at 0-3 in the promotion at the age of 34. In Holmes’ case, he is still just 26 so another defeat wouldn’t be quite as damaging.
