Kevin Holland has signed a new UFC contract ahead of his fight with Uros Medic at UFC 334, and says there are "quite a few" fights on it.

Asked at UFC 334 media day in New York on Wednesday whether he had signed a new deal, Holland said: "Yep, new contract." When it was put to him that he had said he wanted it to be his last, he said: "I would love for it to be." Asked how many fights were on it, he said: "Uh, quite a few." Asked whether that meant he would be around for a few more years, he said: "Yeah, for a little while."

On his goals for the deal, Holland said: "It's always a goal, make all the bread I can, skate off into the sunlight."

"Brother, I'm signing myself up for a fistfight. I damn sure ain't signing myself up to lose," he said. "So I'm always going to sign myself up to win the fistfight."

He dismissed the idea that he does not care about winning. "I love getting my hand raised. I love crushing somebody's skull. I love choking the wind out of their body. And I love going home with 2 to 3 checks," he said.

Holland is No. 15 in the UFC's welterweight rankings. Medic, who faces him on the main card, has won his last four fights by first-round stoppage.

UFC 334 is at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday 14 November. The main card starts at 2am UK time on Sunday 15 November, live on TNT Sports.
