‘I’m on the Plane Right Now’- Kevin Holland Loves the Idea of Training With Khabib Nurmagomedov in Dagestan
Follow Us
Kevin Holland just lost his most recent match against Marvin Vettori via a one-sided unanimous decision. This was Holland’s second loss in a row, and akin to the last fight, even in this match, Holland’s weaknesses were clear.
‘Trailblazer’ has a glaring hole in his takedown defense and seems confused about how to tackle them. In his previous five-round fight against Vettori, ‘Trailblazer’ had a control time of three seconds to Vettori’s 20:01.
Many experts and fans believe Holland has got everything it takes to become a great UFC fighter, but they all think that he just needs to work a bit on the wrestling aspect.
