UFC Vegas 38 took place at the UFC Apex, Las Vegas. Kevin Holland was choked out in the very first round by Daukaus but the fight had to be called a ‘No Contest’ as the referees noticed Daukaus dropping his opponent with a headbutt. After the fight, Holland spoke to the media and gave his thoughts about it. Kevin is not happy with the result and is embarrassed that the fight ended this way.

Holland said, “I never thought about a No Contest. I am not that kind of a person. If this was a street fight, he’d had got the job done. Kung Fu first, defend yourself at all times, I didn’t defend myself from the headbutt, that’s my fault.”
