Yet another winner from Dana White’s Contender Series has gotten the call for a UFC fight.

Kevin Holland (12-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) took a unanimous decision from Will Santiago earlier this season at DWCS 9. He didn’t win a contract, but he’s heading to the UFC anyway with a newly announced middleweight booking against Thiago “Marreta” Santos (17-6 MMA, 9-5 UFC) at UFC 227. UFC officials announced the new matchup on tonight’s episode of Dana White’s Contender Series 14 on UFC Fight Pass.

UFC 227 takes place Aug. 4 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass.

Holland’s win over Santiago ran his winning streak to six straight, including a submission win over Teagan Dooley at Bellator 195 in March. In June 2017, he dropped a decision to current UFC fighter Curtis Millender at LFA 13, but it’s been all wins since then.

Santos will be looking to get back in the win column after a knockout loss against David Branch in April. Prior to that, he had a four-fight winning streak with four knockouts and two post-fight bonus awards.

The new UFC 227 lineup includes:

• Champ T.J. Dillashaw vs. Cody Garbrandt – for bantamweight title
• Champ Demetrious Johnson vs. Henry Cejudo – for flyweight title
• J.J. Aldrich vs. Polyana Viana
• Renato Moicano vs. Cub Swanson
• Kevin Holland vs. Thiago “Marreta” Santos
• Montel Jackson vs. Ricky Simon
• Brett Johns vs. Pedro Munhoz
• Irene Aldana vs. Bethe Correia
• Sheymon Moraes vs. Matt Sayles
• Alex Perez vs. Jose Torres
• Kyung Ho Kang vs. Ricardo Ramos
• Danielle Taylor vs. Weili Zhang
