As Holobaugh (21-8 MMA, 2-5 UFC ) defeated Kaynan Kruschewsky (15-3 MMA, 0-2 UFC ) by unanimous decision at the UFC Apex, his wife and two sons were very audibly rooting him on.’ “I can definitely hear them and that’s how they are in the gym when I’m sparring,” Holobaugh told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference Saturday. “My youngest son is always trying to holler instructions and to do spinning kicks and stuff like that. It’s always fun, but I love it.” Holobaugh said it was the first time his children got to watch him fight in the promotion from cage-side, as the promotion recently implemented a new policy where each fighter gets four cage-side seats for their fight at the UFC Apex

A pair of lightweights will look to get back on track in the desert this summer. Kurt Holobaugh (20-8 MMA, 1-5 UFC) is set to take on Kaynan Kruschewsky (15-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at the UFC’s July 20 Fight Night event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. A person with knowledge of the booking confirmed the matchup to MMA Junkie, but asked to remain anonymous because the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
