UFC 307 didn’t cut it for Kevin Holland, who succumbed to a rib injury while fighting Roman Dolidze on the main card. After rendering himself unable to continue after the very first round, a TKO win was awarded to the Georgian star and it drew a response from Conor McGregor. However, the fans didn’t seem to side with what ‘The Notorious’ had to say and instead sounded off on his ‘hypocritical’ take.

Kevin Holland went all in with his strikes from the get-go, but the only problem was that he found it hard to land properly. Meanwhile, Roman Dolidze would turn the tables and take ‘Trailblazer’ down on the mat and spend a significant amount of time on the ground. ‘Big Mouth’ would try to gain an advantage by trying to lock in an armbar but failed to do so. Dolidze would then roll his opponent onto the ground, leading Holland to crack his ribs.

Kevin Holland pointed out that his ribs were done, leading the judge to rule a TKO win for Roman Dolidze. Surprisingly, Conor McGregor wanted to see ‘Trailblazer’ take his chances and continue the fight against the Georgian. His recent comments indicated that he wasn’t happy with him giving up so early. “Holland is a solid veteran he well should have went out and gave it a shot to see how he was. Wrong move,” wrote McGregor in a since-deleted X post.

McGregor is not a stranger to getting injured mid-fight. Back in 2013, he took on Max Holloway and tore his ACL during a grappling exchange. ‘The Notorious’ still managed to eke out a decision win. But that was a decade ago. His recent inactivity has come from injuries and one would expect him to understand Holland’s decision. Maybe that’s why he deleted the post almost instantaneously. Or was it something else?

What do fans think about this statement? Well, they called out Conor McGregor for the apparent double standard and sounded off on the Irishman for his ill-advised comments about Kevin Holland. Here’s what they had to say.

Fans take shots at Conor McGregor for his comments on Kevin Holland

As soon as Conor McGregor’s tweet surfaced online, fans reminded the Irishman about his leg injury and how he had to give up at UFC 264 after he couldn’t even stand on his feet. “Shoulda tried to walk it off,” one fan stated on Reddit, indicating that ‘The Notorious’ isn’t qualified to pass such comments about injured fighters. Some of them even took shots at the former ‘champ champ’ for his recent pullout from UFC 303, claiming, “Says the dude that pulled out cause of a broken pinkie toe.”

The fact that Conor McGregor’s been out of action following his horrendous leg injury has made fans remind the Irishman that Kevin Holland’s been more active than him. Hence, they didn’t hesitate to clap back at him. “Coming from the guy who hasn’t returned in years after a leg injury hahahaha,” a fan added in that regard. Fans kept on firing shots as one Reddit user deemed McGregor a plaster saint. He commented, “You liked that stupid a– tweet means you agree with this hypocrite clown who recently just pulled out due to a pinky toe injury and said he’ll never fight injured?”

Moving over to the other reactions, one fan drew a comparison between Kevin Holland and Conor McGregor, claiming that ‘Trailblazer’ may have given up after getting injured, but he has never given up after getting his gas tank drained ever in any of his UFC fights. This was a jibe at ‘The Notorious’ with a reference to his submission loss to Nate Diaz eight years ago. “Holland gives up with a broken rib. Mcgregor gave up while fighting with a broken gas tank,” a fan commented. Meanwhile, one user on Reddit believes, “Connors definitely trolling,” keeping in mind McGregor’s previous social media antics.
