A pair of pivotal matchups have been added to the upcoming UFC Fight Night event in Oklahoma City.
Kevin Holland will look to become the first fighter to defeat touted 170-pound talent Jacobe Smith when they meet in a featured welterweight contest.
A middleweight bout between one-time title challenger Jared Cannonier and fellow knockout artist Christian Leroy Duncan was also announced by the organization on Thursday.
The event takes place July 18 at the Paycom Center. No main event has been announced to date.
This card will mark the UFC’s return to OKC for the first time in almost a full decade and the fifth event in the state of Oklahoma in UFC history. The most recent was in 2017.
Holland, 33, is a 29-fight UFC veteran coming off a unanimous decision win over Randy Brown in April that snapped a two-fight losing streak.
Smith, 30, is 12-0 as a pro and 3-0 so far at the UFC level after debuting in the organization in 2025. He is riding high off stoppage wins over Preston Parsons, Niko Price and Josiah Harrell all within the past 15 months.
Cannonier, 42, has dropped three of his past four, including a decision to Michael “Venom” Page last summer. Cannonier lost to then-champion Israel Adesanya when he challenged for the middleweight title in 2022 and holds wins over UFC Hall of Famer Anderson Silva plus reigning 185-pound champ Sean Strickland.
Leroy Duncan, 30, is looking to extend his winning streak to five in a row. The Englishman kicked off his 2026 campaign in March with a decision win over Roman Dolidze in London.
Other matchups previously announced for UFC OKC include Brad Tavares vs. Canada’s Marc-Andre Barriault at middleweight and Chase Hooper vs. Mitch Ramirez at lightweight.
