One more big win at MW and he gets the title shot IMO. His win over Jacare was good, but Jacare isn't the name he used to be. I'd like to see Holland fight Costa now that Costa pulled out of the fight with Whittaker, or maybe even Hermansson after he fights Brunson.
@@АртёмГаджибалаев-ш5ш Buckley still ended up winning 2 in a row after that and one was KO of the year. Yeah he's not a contender but say compare it to someone like Khamzats opponents? All 3 haven't won a fight and 2 were cut by the UFC? Buckley is a decent win especially in the time span he did it in
That last KO is amazing. If you watch closely, he gets the power from swinging his right leg back a little then letting it carry his core and the rest of his body into the punch. Absolutely outstanding body control, understanding of body mechanics and quick thinking. What an artist!
He had Jacare hurt before that moment of amazing body control though. The hammerfist he throws just before he controls his body like a gymnast to leverage power is what really hurts Jacare. But yeah, unbelievable body control from Holland.

Watching this highlights before the fight with Khamzat, I was like "Nah man, Khamzat's wrestly won't work on this guy it did on Li and others." But Khamzat proved his wrestling and grappling is on a different level. Dude literally mopped the floor with Kavin.
He was caught when he tried to dap at the start. I don’t know if it would’ve went a round, but it would’ve lasted longer than it did. But hey protect yourself at all cost

What are people talking about Kevin is a worse wrestler than his previous opponents.. everyone knew and it was admitted by Kevin himself, so he out wrestled him fast. No shit! Have any of you people watched wrestling? Matches end in 13 seconds often, it's quick and explosive that's the point. How is this shocking I cannot understand and it also doesn't make Khamzat a better fighter, he just has a nullifier. In this case Khamzat is a better fighter overall anyway but that's not always the case for the winner
@@alphaking3294 for real. like yeah it's legal and kevin fucked up by not protecting himself but it's like.....i wanna see what would have happened if they just both went straight into the fight without any highfiving mishap. kevin would have at least been able to put up a decent fight i think.
Win or lose, you gotta be a Kevin Holland fan. He is a real one and is the true definition of a fighter. He will fight once a month if he could, all while having fun and never complaining. The UFC needs more fighters like him
he has wrestling experience, i don't know why people think he has no ground game or anything, Hes submited people, knocked people out from the bottom. Its just hes not as good as brunson, and vettori when it comes to wrestling.
@@ayoitskairu2934 of course. When people say wrestling experience we mean high level wrestling. All mma fighters have wrestling experience to a degree. Even Holland has said he neglected training wrestling for his first fights in the ufc
@@vazarcoI mean. He has a wushu background that's evident in his style . A style which has a lot of takedowns ,throws and defences . That explains I think
3:00 I swear I heard his neck break, then I thought I heard him say “ughhh my neck” so I googled it. Apparently it popped, and he was taken out on a stretcher but he ended up being fine. Yikes
@Mal Theri While Kevin came off as kinda childish in his talk. His rant about there being no "greats" right now was just totally off putting. 50 cent general Mayweather.
Kevin Holland has got something many fighters don't have and that's a vicious streak. He doesn't seem to care about potentially injuring himself by throwing strikes which land on parts of the body that might hurt himself, he just wants to hurt you. Those elbows were nasty! He has speed, real power and an awkwardness to his style. Also due to his strength and the fact he seems to be a freak athlete he loos to be able to pull off techniques he likely hasn't been training for long as he just bosses them through. That take down from behind where he kicked the guts legs from under him was so messy but it worked due to strength and his understanding of balance,however it wasn't nice to look at. I feel with some more training this guy could do some major things in the division. Also if he can get to 170 then he will be a serious problems. .
@@ilovegrapes4101 Yeah I was on the hype train since the Buckley KO but after he beat Stewart he started trash talking Khamzat then I became a bigger fan
I took 6 years of Karate before finding Muay Tai in the mid 90's before the UFC made it the most popular "stand-up" style of fighting, especially in MMA. It was preached by my teachers that Muay Tai would always beat a Karate practitioner because the bladed stance would get destroyed by leg kicks. But now everyone is so used to facing opponents that use a front facing Muay Tai stance that a "bladed stance" fighter has an advantage and gives them fits.
Crazy how khamzat missed weight by almost 10 pounds, then fights the dude who’s training for a striker on a days notice when anyone else would have gotten pulled. I can’t wait for either Colby or costa to derail the hype.
@@MrPogface he got finished in seconds wasn't even close didn't stand a chance. He'll be waiting a long time for a rematch. Khamzat has so many potential fights to have Adesanya, Pereira, Colby, Usman, Burns etc Holland will be waiting a while.
I would love to see him fight Izzy. The press conference and the fight would be amazing.
Omg yes
Hopefully in 2022, he needs a bit more experience

What are people talking about Kevin is a worse wrestler than his previous opponents.. everyone knew and it was admitted by Kevin himself, so he out wrestled him fast. No shit! Have any of you people watched wrestling? Matches end in 13 seconds often, it's quick and explosive that's the point. How is this shocking I cannot understand and it also doesn't make Khamzat a better fighter, he just has a nullifier. In this case Khamzat is a better fighter overall anyway but that's not always the case for the winner
@@alphaking3294 for real. like yeah it's legal and kevin fucked up by not protecting himself but it's like.....i wanna see what would have happened if they just both went straight into the fight without any highfiving mishap. kevin would have at least been able to put up a decent fight i think.
@@TheSeveredTonguesYES! I agree, Khamzat was a jerk doing that fake act.
Jacare really got caught up in the talking there. Lol, that was so odd.
Agreed, im like "wtf is he entertaining him in the middle of a fight!" Smh.
If Kevin wants to fight Izzy, make him fight Paulo or Whittaker firsts
Costa pulled out give him costa
Why?
@Superior Black King Womp womp wah.
Win or lose, you gotta be a Kevin Holland fan. He is a real one and is the true definition of a fighter. He will fight once a month if he could, all while having fun and never complaining. The UFC needs more fighters like him
With a good WORLD CLASS TEAM he will never loose another fight and retire champion
Kevin is a fkn beast
He can roll. He can hit. But my god he can talk lol. I love watching this dude fight.
Without wrestling experience his takedowns are so powerful. I'm excited to see what his training shows as he progresses
he has wrestling experience, i don't know why people think he has no ground game or anything, Hes submited people, knocked people out from the bottom. Its just hes not as good as brunson, and vettori when it comes to wrestling.
@@ayoitskairu2934 of course. When people say wrestling experience we mean high level wrestling. All mma fighters have wrestling experience to a degree. Even Holland has said he neglected training wrestling for his first fights in the ufc
@@vazarcoI mean. He has a wushu background that's evident in his style . A style which has a lot of takedowns ,throws and defences . That explains I think
0:33 epic foreshadowing
Derek : On top
Kevin : It's nice
*Triangle Choke Intensifies*
Mark my words, midway round 2 he will get the choke
He’s good. I’m amazed at how fast khazmat beat him
Ok. Kevin Holland is Legit AF. Im an Instant fan, man he got serious skills and confidence.
Stewart's body and muscles are like Kamaru Usman and face like Tyron Woodley
Lol true
Tea-Wood
And he moves like Jacare
3:00 I swear I heard his neck break, then I thought I heard him say “ughhh my neck” so I googled it. Apparently it popped, and he was taken out on a stretcher but he ended up being fine. Yikes
I was looking for that research haha, thank man!
i scrolled for so long to find a comment abt it
Yall here for one reason. Admit it.
Kevin gave out his wrestling secret here in the first fight😂
Kevin holland just made himself a new fan, can't wait to see him fight more
As Kevin Holland once said “I had a dream about this” and proceeds to knock him out from his back
Kevin Holland and Derrick Lewis need a talk show together analyzing UFC fights and bullshitting about anything. They are both hilarious.
@Mal Theri While Kevin came off as kinda childish in his talk. His rant about there being no "greats" right now was just totally off putting. 50 cent general Mayweather.
Izzy called him a crazy boy, at the end he says "I'm a crazy boy and I'm coming for you" Holland is for real
we ll see. in my opinion he would take a lot of ko facing people really strong, he has too mch suicidal attitude u cannot do that at the highest level
Izzy will maul him
His fight iq and improvisation is off the charts. Nasty, quick.
amazing how khamzat just ragdolled him
Kevin Holland has got something many fighters don't have and that's a vicious streak. He doesn't seem to care about potentially injuring himself by throwing strikes which land on parts of the body that might hurt himself, he just wants to hurt you. Those elbows were nasty! He has speed, real power and an awkwardness to his style. Also due to his strength and the fact he seems to be a freak athlete he loos to be able to pull off techniques he likely hasn't been training for long as he just bosses them through. That take down from behind where he kicked the guts legs from under him was so messy but it worked due to strength and his understanding of balance,however it wasn't nice to look at.
I feel with some more training this guy could do some major things in the division. Also if he can get to 170 then he will be a serious problems. .
When he gets rocked in the 3rd clip and backs up against the fence you can tell. He stops and throws when hurt even slapped dude a couple times 😂
4:51 "Ooooh he long!" lmao
Been on the Holland hype train for a while!
I have been since the Hernandez win
@@ilovegrapes4101 Yeah I was on the hype train since the Buckley KO but after he beat Stewart he started trash talking Khamzat then I became a bigger fan
my new favorite fighter..he told izzy after the sauza knock out "thats right i am crazy im coming for u boy" dope
I took 6 years of Karate before finding Muay Tai in the mid 90's before the UFC made it the most popular "stand-up" style of fighting, especially in MMA. It was preached by my teachers that Muay Tai would always beat a Karate practitioner because the bladed stance would get destroyed by leg kicks. But now everyone is so used to facing opponents that use a front facing Muay Tai stance that a "bladed stance" fighter has an advantage and gives them fits.
Crazy how Khamzat came in and made a fighter like him look like an untrained amateur last night. Goes to show there's levels to this.
Crazy how khamzat missed weight by almost 10 pounds, then fights the dude who’s training for a striker on a days notice when anyone else would have gotten pulled. I can’t wait for either Colby or costa to derail the hype.
@@UnknownRaven0 exactly, a part holland he went only against one top 15 and he risked a lot, its easy being undefeated until you're not
I bet a rematch ends differently
@@MrPogface just imagine that holland escaped in those first minutes, chimaev was already tired he would've beat his ass
@@MrPogface he got finished in seconds wasn't even close didn't stand a chance. He'll be waiting a long time for a rematch. Khamzat has so many potential fights to have Adesanya, Pereira, Colby, Usman, Burns etc Holland will be waiting a while.
This guy is dangerous fast and accurate
This is another one of those guys for me as a fan, that fucking scares you man. The sound Souza's skull was making from them elbows.
Finally someone says this. They are sickening
@@brandoncontreras6994 literally like cracking a coconut o.O
Those long arms are lethal.. the fact that he almost has jacare in a locked triangle is insane.
Bro Holland has become one of my favorite fighters SO fast. They need to make an anime about this man 😭
this guy vs khamzat will be 🔥
I now know even less about what will happen with khamzat... I just hope someone can humble him.
This shows what a hell of a monster khamzat is...believe me guys he can be the mike tyson im mma ..no doubt..he is the real deal
Dude barely beat burns 😂😂😂calm down
Beating Kevin Borz proved he’s a monster like Mike Tyson
I like the guy. He seems humble and a character to enjoy for sure.
Who’s hear tryna to catch up on this guys fights
Who is here after he accepted chimaev fight?
Why was he reffed by Mark Smith in every single one of these?
Why not.
Refs are picked by the state athletic commission, not by the UFC
Mark smith seems like he's referred 80% of the fights in 2020
Tbf I hadn't heard of Kevin but 5 fights in 1 year... the ufc needs more fighters like this
Kevin Holland be in the octagon having fun enjoying his fights 😄 💯
I wish he stayed as a middleweight. Moving to welterweight might've reduced his power.
Who is here after Chimaev fight?
I'm concerned that things he's done to Souza would happen to Khamzat,but Khamzat did it well.🔥
I like the new sound they got in the back ground to these videos. The singing bass. :D
Dude hits crazy hard... switches peoples lights off with his back on the floor. Insane!!!
And Khamzat just ragdolled him
