Holland described the incident in detail and revealed how he almost got into trouble for it. He said, “I’m driving down the road, enjoying some good old 80s and 90’s music, just cruising. It’s fast…. but it’s cruising, and then I look over to the right-hand side and this guy looked like he was trying to get on the freeway pretty quick.”

He added, “I looked back straight, I look back to the right-hand side and he’s sliding sideways… Hopped out, ran over there, jumped on top, ripped the door open, and got the guy out. I get the guy out, there’s fluids flowing out of the car, I get the guy out of the truck and I’m scared. Every other time things have happened, I’ve been calm, cool, and collected. This time, I’m scared. I’m like the truck’s going to blow up.”

In the interview, Holland revealed how the incident happened and that he saved that man from the truck. However, things didn’t go as easy as it sounded for him from what happened next.

The fighter claimed that after saving the man from the truck, the man went back in to get his phone despite the risk of them blowing up. After getting his phone and being helped out the second time, the man went inside again to grab some of his belongings. That’s when Holland decided to leave.

After this, Holland almost got into big trouble for helping the man. He explained, “as I turn around, there’s a cop there and I’m like, ‘Hey, what’s going on? ‘He’s like, ‘You tell me what’s going on — who’s driving, you or him?’ I’m like no, no no, my car is down there. So that’s one of those situations, I should probably stay my a*s in the car.”
