He said, “It’s still another man. Hey look right now we’re about to fight so I can’t be too much of a fan. When I’m a fan of his it’s like oh yeah he’s Jacare that’s nice but I’m not the same as everybody else. He signed a contract to fight me. The contract is to go out there and take this man out, right. That means I have to hit his head and he has to hit my head. Whoever kills who first is the winner.”

‘Trailblazer’ continued, “If I can snipe him before he can catch me in his jaws that’s awesome. So I look to go out there and snipe him I don’t care if he was my daddy, my grandpa, my great grandpa, my ancestors. I don’t really care. When we sign the contract to fight each other, we sign the contract to take each other out. That’s the job. Once I finish the job then I can go back to being his fan again. Cause I’m a fan of his work but right now he’s on the other side of that contract.”

Holland is 4-0 this year. He aims to become the first fighter in the history of the middleweight division to go 5-0 in a calendar year if he can secure a win over ‘Jacare’. Souza is on a two-fight slump at the moment; however, one can never count him out.
