Ultimate Fighting Championship

After a successful career in Ireland, it was revealed in August 2013, that Holohan was selected to be a participant on The Ultimate Fighter 18.[4] He faced Josh Hill for his fight to get in the house. Holohan was repeatedly taken down and had no answer for the top game of Hill and ended up losing by decision.[5]

Holohan made his official promotional debut against Josh Sampo on July 19, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 46.[6] Holohan won the fight via a rear-naked choke submission midway through the first round.[7]

Holohan was scheduled to face Louis Gaudinot on October 4, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 54.[8] However, Gaudinot pulled out of the bout due to injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Chris Kelades.[9] Holohan lost the fight via unanimous decision.[10] The performance earned both participants Fight of the Night honors.[11]

Holohan faced Shane Howell on January 18, 2015, at UFC Fight Night 59.[12] Holohan won the fight via unanimous decision.[13]

Holohan faced Vaughan Lee on July 18, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 72.[14] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[15]

Holohan faced Louis Smolka on October 24, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 76.[16] Holohan lost by second round submission after taking a series of shots and then giving up his back, opening a window for Smolka to lock in the rear naked choke for the victory.[17]

Holohan was expected to face Willie Gates on May 8, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 87.[18] However, on April 25, Holohan abruptly announced his retirement, citing a rare blood disorder.[19] He was replaced on the card by Yuta Sasaki.[20]
