Kevin Holland absolutely pummeled veteran Jacare Souza, knocking him out in the very first round of their middleweight clash at UFC 256. The knockout gave, Kevin Holland his fifth victory of the year, and it looks like he will only go from strength to strength here onwards.
In the post-fight interview, Kevin Holland called out ‘the Borz’ Khamzat Chimaev, who was initially scheduled to face Leon Edwards on the 19th of December; but the fight was scrapped due to Leon testing positive for Coronavirus.
“I’m going to bang that boy up” – Kevin Holland
In the post-fight interview Kevin Holland also claimed that he would bang Khamzat if he comes up to the middleweight division. “I know [Khamzat] Chimaev was supposed to fight on the 19th. I think he could be a champion at 170 but he comes up here to 185, I’m going to bang that boy up,” Holland said.
Speaking later at the press conference, Holland further stated, “He doesn’t have a reputation for fighting all the time. That’s just what all the casuals think, that he fights all the time. He fought three times this year. Two times against bums and then another time against Gerald Meerschaert. Gerald Meerschaert is not a bum, but he was coming off a knockout. He hasn’t beat anybody in the UFC with a win. But, at the same time he is a good ticket for the UFC.“
Khamzat will probably take on Leon Edwards, early next year, as the UFC are keen on re-booking the fight as early as possible. Do you think Khamzat will move up to the middleweight division to fight Kevin Holland, later?
