However, the fighter adds that there is no ill will. But he wishes that his opponent had just said he doesn’t want to fight. Furthermore, he said, “that’s what 6-year-olds do” when describing the incident which took place as the main card began.
Additionally, Holland says he would be open to the fight being rebooked. However, he has one condition, which is that the UFC must have a standby opponent. This he feels is necessary as, “Who’s to say the kid won’t hold his breath again.”
