Holland, 29-15-0 with one no contest, brings 29 wins by knockout, submission and decision. Medić, 14-3-0 according to fight trackers, has finished 12 of his 14 wins by KO or TKO.

The fight and its place on UFC 334
UFC 334 is headlined by Ciryl Gane against Josh Hokit for the heavyweight title. According to the card listing on MMA Sucka, Medić vs. Holland is on the main card, alongside Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes for the women's bantamweight title, Caio Borralho vs. Yousri Belgaroui, and Bilal Hasan vs. Luis Gurule. In the United States the main card streams on Paramount+.
The bout is not a title fight. It is Holland's first appearance since his April win over Randy Brown, and Medić's first since his August win.
Holland: the finisher with the decision streak
Holland is known as "Trailblazer", and his record shows a fighter who usually ends fights. According to our database, 14 of his 29 wins came by KO or TKO, 9 by submission and 6 by decision. His most recent submission was a second-round finish of Vicente Luque at UFC 316 in June 2025.
His recent form is more mixed. He lost decisions to Daniel Rodriguez at UFC 318 in July 2025 and to Mike Malott in October 2025. On 11 April 2026 at UFC 327 he beat Randy Brown by decision, his latest result. He comes into this fight ranked 14th in our welterweight table.
Medić: power and a recent finish
Medić, nicknamed "The Doctor", is a southpaw whose wins lean heavily on strikes. UFCalendar lists his record as 14-3-0 with 12 knockout or TKO wins. His latest fight was on 1 August 2026, when he stopped Daniel Rodriguez by TKO in the first round of UFC Fight Night: Medić vs. Rodriguez, according to our data.
That is a notable result for the matchup. Rodriguez, who beat Holland on the scorecards last year, sits 15th in our welterweight rankings. Outside sources disagree on where Medić is ranked: UFCalendar lists him 12th at welterweight, but rankings differ between trackers, so treat that number with caution.
Reach, stance and range
The size gap is the clearest split. UFCalendar lists Holland at 6 feet 3 inches with an 81 inch reach, and Medić at 6 feet 1 inch with a 71 inch reach. A ten inch reach gap is large in a division where most fighters are close to each other in length.
Holland is orthodox and Medić is southpaw, which means the lead feet will line up on the outside. Holland can use his length at range and look for kicks and long strikes, while Medić will likely want to close the distance, where his power is most dangerous. Holland has finished fights both on the feet and on the ground, while Medić's record points almost entirely to the feet.
Where the winner lands at welterweight
Holland sits just ahead of Rodriguez, who is 15th in our rankings. A win over Medić, who has just beaten Rodriguez, would strengthen either man's place in the top 15. For Holland, a second straight win would follow the Brown decision and end a run of mixed results. For Medić, beating a 29-win veteran on a main card in New York would build on the Rodriguez stoppage.
The UFC has not announced a further plan for the winner. UFC 334 takes place on 14 November.
