Welterweight Kevin Holland came out on top at UFC 287, beating Santiago Ponzinibbio in the third round while claiming his 24th career win in the process with a spectacular highlight-reel KO. Despite this important win, it was Holland’s antics outside the cage that appeared to have made headlines rather than his performance against Ponzinibbio.

For starters, it was the altercation that took place with Jorge Masvidal prior to the event that got the media and fans buzzing. Adding to the intrigue was Dana White‘s refusal to allow any questions about the incident, which even got a section of the fans riled up at the UFC president. Following all of these, Trailblazer is back in the news feed again after a clip of him interacting with a fan went viral. The video in question here left some fans scratching their heads initially; but as it gained traction, people couldn’t help but have a laugh at the way the interaction played out.

The clip posted on Twitter, by an MMA fan page, claimed that the fan made an attempt at grabbing Kevin Holland in a rather inappropriate place. While owing to the camera angle, there’s not much in the video that proves it, yet fans couldn’t help but react to what turned out to be a funny video clip.

Many of the reactions were fans claiming how lucky the individual was considering Holland let him go with just a few cuss words.

Another tweet wondered how what have gone down if Jon Jones was involved.

One comment dubbed it a “wild behavior” coming from the fan.

The rest of the tweets were just fans laughing at how the interaction played out.

One tweet even hilariously pointed out that Holland was himself taken aback at the situation.

This certainly was one of its kind fan interaction to have gone down with any UFC fighter. Luckily, for the fan involved here, he was fortunate enough that Holland chose to not let his emotions go wild at him.
