Kevin Holland and Uros Medic fought to a majority draw on the main card of UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday, 14 November 2026, in a welterweight bout that ended in confusion over the judges’ scorecards. The official result, confirmed by UFC.com and MMA Junkie, read 29-27 for Medic and 28-28 twice, with a second-round point deduction against Medic proving decisive in the final tallies.
Holland had threatened a first-round finish with a deep D’Arce choke attempt, and he landed more total and significant strikes across the three rounds, according to the fight statistics reported after the bout. Medic survived the early danger, answered with heavy left hands in the third round, and refused to be finished in the first fight of his career to go the distance.
A point deduction that changed the arithmetic
The turning point came in the second round, when referee Marc Goddard deducted a point from Medic after two low blows landed on Holland. The fouls brought a lengthy pause while Holland recovered, and the deduction reshaped every scorecard that followed.
Judge David Bruce scored all three rounds for Medic, giving him a 29-27 card after the deduction. Judges Mike Bell and Chris Lee each gave Holland the first round and Medic the second and third, but with the second round scored 9-9 after the deduction, both of their cards finished level at 28-28.
The scorecard mix-up that stunned the booth
The confusion deepened when announcer Bruce Buffer first read the scores as 30-27, 29-28 and 28-28, a combination that did not square with the point deduction. The broadcast team, including Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier, reacted with disbelief on air as the numbers were corrected to the official 29-27, 28-28, 28-28.
UFC’s own written recap confirmed the numbers had initially been announced incorrectly but that the declared draw was correct. Holland reacted on Instagram shortly after the fight with a five-word post: “A draw? What the f***.”

Holland’s record moved to 29-15-1, while Medic’s moved to 14-3-1, with neither man taking a loss to end his 2026 campaign. Medic had entered the bout on a four-fight winning streak and had never previously gone to the scorecards, while Holland was fighting for the first time since his unanimous decision win over Randy Brown at UFC 327 in April 2026.
What comes next for both men
Neither fighter offered an immediate comment on a potential rematch, and no next opponent has been confirmed for either man. A rematch would settle a bout in which Holland did most of the visible work yet left New York without the win, while Medic kept his unbeaten run of form intact without a defeat on his record.
The draw also left UFC 334, headlined by the heavyweight title fight between Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit, with one of its strangest talking points before the main event had even begun. For Holland, who has one win in his last four fights, the result extends a frustrating run; for Medic, it preserves a streak that still contains no loss, even if it now contains no win either.
