It all started when a man came to Holland saying someone stole his car. When Holland pulled up near the man’s car, the driver sped off. ‘Trailblazer’ did not give up and continued chasing the person into an area he was familiar with. Eventually, the driver drove into a tree. However, as the fighter approached the vehicle, he reversed and tried to drive into ‘Trailblazer’.

Holland, who hopped back in his car, noticed that the man was now in a truck. Hence, he continued to follow the individual, who eventually crashed into a trailer and tried to escape on foot. Kevin Holland chased the driver down and used his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to prevent him from prolonging the chase.
