I love how willing Kevin is to banter with other fighters and admit his weaknesses in some areas, especially with Brunson. Brunson reposted a meme that said “Kevin struggled to stop Brunson’s takedowns lol” and Kevin responded “bro I can’t stop nobody’s takedowns”. 😂bloody quality
Javier literally said that he was not in the gym when Holland came to train. He never said that Holland never came to the gym!! Ariel is back to being Ariel
The point is the same. The fact is he did go to aka but he only went ONE DAY. Not one week, not one week there on e week away, not 3 or 4 day, ONE DAY. Kevin is the one who leaked that out in an interview. ONE DAY
He spent 10 Minutes here talking about what he’s doing to improve it and who he’s working with. Now we will see if those improvements translate to the cage.
@@Zoran222 He is in a division which is kinda shallow on popular fighters, he is like Gastelum or Mike Perry, he has to lose 10 fights in a row to get cut.
I think his combination of skill and exciting fights along with his popularity and willingness to fight will keep him from getting cut as long as he doesn’t lose too many fights
Exactly these fighters get paid more than teachers, construction workers b firemen, paramedics, & police officers. They aren't under paid. There's always room for improvement tho.
@@improbablyyourdad8458 none of those jobs are giving you guaranteed brain damage and you have to pay for coaches, trainers, dieticians etc. Honestly those occupations should get paid alot more though.

@@marcelmarshall4240 I get what U saying but dude fought 5x in 2020 so I like that..He ain't the Best Fighter when it comes to mixing it up but he trynna get better I like that
The UFC needs fighters like Holland. He has a genuinely interesting personality that’s not forced or made up unlike a lot of fighters. As much as it’s easy to clown on him…low key you gotta appreciate him.
Jared said he was broke because he didn’t fight cuz of an injury & he had lot of bills stack up. The guy has 6 cars 2 houses but is broke? That sounds like it’s 1010% on him not the UFC not paying
@@spieglass3211 bro that commenter is representative of the broader right wing fan base, many of whom are uneducated, bereft of common sense, and blindly follow Dana because he supports trump. I doubt they even know what theory is, let alone the labour theory of value
Kevin Holland is a G and gets paid because he fights like a man. The UFC only has a few G's atm. Nate Diaz, Justin Gatjhe , O'Mailey that's about it. Might be missing one or two. That's why he gets the paper. I'm tuning in if he fighting.
You cant fight often if youre higher ranked like Canonnier. They always try to make it a event, which takes time to promote. If youre fighting nobodies u can fight once a week ofc
still wished holland would have stayed in aka. Big mistake not riding it out with DC. He has all the talent in the world (already is a black belt in bjj and kung fu), he should have taken the opportunity with DC more seriously.
Have to agree with Kev here. People are putting on shitty performances and have the nerve to complain about pay. HIGHLIGHT FINISHES ARE MANDATORY IF YOU WANT TO GET PAID THE BIG BUCKS. Just being a ufc fighter isn’t enough.
He’s not wrong at all, there’s bonuses for getting finishes and fight of the night bonuses so as long as you fight your ass off don’t crotch sniff don’t point fight to decisions you’ll make plenty of money
@@namwarmaster6918 yes it does all fighters who say exitment don’t pay the bills are dumb because you litterally get paid more if you get fight of the night or get a finish. You wanna make more money you gotta fight like it, you wanna be champ you gotta fight like it, simple. All boring fighters who complain about not getting title shots or getting more money should just fight better and fight more often and ufc would give them what they want
@@tylergogan6716 no, good finishes and good fights don’t guarantee bonuses. you could have a great finish, but if another person on the card has a better finish, you might not get the performance bonus. if you put on a great fight but there was a better fight on the card, you might not get the fight of the night bonus. pretty simple. having fighters rely on bonuses to have a great living in an organization where bonuses are given in limited amounts, that’s a stupid idea. not hard to understand.
Bonuses that get taxed in half, aren’t guaranteed and could easily result in you getting starched hunting them. The fighters don’t get paid well Holland just good
And that is why fighters cant come together for more pay and things like medical benefits. You have fighters that aren't willing to stand up for the other fighters who arent doing as well as they are.
He definitely seems a little timid and lost some confidence. I think Daukaus is an incredibly underrated fighter and tough as nails too. Could cause problems for Kevin.
I’m not trying to hate, but Kevin Holland is the type of fighter that’s going to end up broke after he gets released or when his career is over. No discipline
Well,we know who the do as you are told fighters are in the ufc. To be honest with you, it's pretty much all of them, that is why they can't get their pat levels incrased.
Kevin is definitely a company man. He said something when talking about Khamzat that made it sound like he thinks he’s in business WITH the UFC. I love Holland and Hope he does well. But he maybe in for a rude awakening down the road when Dana does his “Kevin Holland was never my friend”
the difference between a fighter and a professional mixed martial arts athlete, everyone wants/demands 8-12 week fight camps where they can sit and drill striking combos until they look robotic, throws said combo in an actual fight no where close to landing. tbh delete coaching help aside from in between rounds and make these dudes fight on short notice. its not very impressive to me watching dudes take the stance of oh cool ill watch 900hrs of tape on this guy before im willing to fight them.
It's like when you tell someone something the cops are doing or a messed up law and they're like *oh well it's the Law WE HAVE to follow it* bunch of yes men who don't think for themselves but just accept everything.
Kevin just does not understand why he is there. He is there to learn how to wrestle, and get off the ground when facing a wrestler. Kevin needs to cool his weed paranoia down. DC is not trying to steal anything from them. Kevin cannot even keep his story straight. Kevin said in an interview. He couldn’t concentrate because he wanted to party.
Kevin doesn’t understand cause he is a texas resident so his money is only taxed federally. If he had that state employer tax I’m sure he would sing a different tune.
Idk if Kevin is qualified to talk about fighter pay, he's said before he blew all his money on that green muscle car, now he's got 140 pairs of nice shoes too..? Dude needs a financial adviser fr fr
big mouthed nuffy wont last long in ufc with no skills, he is kept around coz he has a big mouth and is willing to fight cheap. lost all respect for this guy talking about get what you deserve kinda thing with pay, wake up kev
If he’s smart then resale, could easily profit more than like 20k off 140 pairs of exotic sneakers lmao, those Ben and Jerry’s up there on his wall, resell value easily up to 1.2k he probably got a great shoe plug too so if he wanted he could turn all those shoes into even more cash.
Maybe it's both. Most UFC fighters don't get paid much. We tend to focus on the most popular, but the rest are kind of getting shafted. They don't even get healthcare or any benefits. Plus they have to pay for there own teams and facilities. That is expensive.
@@JoShiestyy That's an Average, and payout curve isn't linear. The curve would be like 20 people getting less than McDonalds Cashier's and than McGregor lol So a handful of people actually make a decent living, and the rest are poor af.
Lol Kevin say that ,but this is fake. Look guys like Oliveira what they say. After all those years Charles still need to do installments to pay a bike , or a car. If he doesn't wifght for 6 month , he's struggling with money. If all fighters would just group up and go to strike and say ok we don't come back until our percentage is review. Man the UFC will be mad ,coz they the one making the show & bringin the people. It's sad ot see fighters needing to go to fight yOutuber to get money.
Anyone who complains about fighter pay simply doesn't know what they're talking about. These athletes have many expenses covered by the ufc, work only a few hours a year, and can have full-time jobs outside of fighting. In fact unless you are holding a belt you should have another form of income anyway.

Cutting Kevin would be a huge loss for the UFC no way they were gonna let him go after 2 losses. His previous performances were too good
He is too popular now. He would need to lose his next 2 at least to get cut.
Plus he lost to top guys

I thought the same thing when he said that, haha 2+2 =6, haha
Right On Kevin !!
THE DIFFERENCE IS WHAT FAN BASE DO YOUR BRING PERIOD.
I Love Kev! He almost nailed it. He gotta cross promote and get them mentions when Jake does interviews
Let's be real, we all fell in love with "Big Mouth"
I liked the knockouts.
I was always a fan even after the smack talk in the beginning lol he has a genuine personality and always excited to watch his fights
140 pairs of shoes? I think fighters are getting paid just fine 😆
I know broke people with that many shoes lol. Some people have shoes and no savings
140 pairs of sneakers? Really? Did you lose your logical thinking before becoming a fan or after? Idiot
