We witnessed one of the best fights of the year in ‘Wonderboy’s’ victory over Kevin Holland. Stephen Thompson unleashed every weapon from his arsenal to take down ‘Trailblazer’. Moreover, it didn’t look for one second that Thompson is over 40 years of age. This fight had the fans and fighters worldwide glued to their seats. Fighters later took over Twitter to make their opinion public of this fantastic fight.

Fan favorite ‘Wonderboy‘ showcased his true power in the locked Octagon once more. Perhaps this was one of the best fights of his UFC career so far. Moreover, he faced a deadly striker in Kevin Holland. He is a younger and more ambitious fighter who dreams of clinching the title.

The fight was so intense that Kevin Holland injured his right hand during the battle. Moreover, it seemed to be that the injury was inflicted after blocking a barrage of kicks repeatedly.

Kevin Holland was the dominant fighter by the end of the first round, with ‘Wonderboy’ bleeding. However, it all changed in the 2nd round. The South Carolina fighter landed 63% of the head strikes during the fight against his opponent.
