BOSTON – It’s the third round for Kurt Holobaugh and the fight hasn’t even started.
When he was released from the promotion for the second time in 2019, Holobaugh (19-7 MMA, 0-4 UFC) thought a return was likely impossible. Fast forward approximately four years, and he’s days out from fighting Austin Hubbard (15-6 MMA, 3-4 UFC) at UFC 292.
“I thought my time in the UFC was done,” Holobaugh told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at a news conference Wednesday. “I was looking for other things. Things still weren’t going good. I wasn’t able to find me a good, solid home out there.”
