The very intimidating Kevin Holland will make his fifth Octagon appearance for 2020 on Saturday night. He will take on Jacare Souza in a middleweight fight. In a pre-fight media day, Holland lay out his plans for this battle and his love for fighting.
The fighter touched on his busy 2020 and said, “The secret to this recipe has been just staying active man, staying ready to get ready. The real truth of the matter is, I don’t give a f*** bro I smoke a lot of weed; they told me they want me to fight. The only thing that sucks is I have to stop smoking for a week. Yeah, nothing’s really that bad. I love fighting for nothing better. So, yeah, this is what we do.

He continued, “If I was a fighter that sit out there and they’re always like, they love to fight and then they get off for a fight and they don’t fight, they’re not real fighters they’re posers like used to skateboard back in the day, those guys to try and dress like skaters but they weren’t really skaters. They’re freaking posers man.”
The ‘Trailblazer” took a jibe at fighters who just sit out spending holidays and family times, who don’t like to compete but showcase themselves as true fighters. Finally, he concluded, “Me, on the other hand, I enjoy. I really, really enjoy getting close to killing somebody. I mean, it’s like all my cars have big trunks, you see the Green Machine, nobody buys that stuff in the Green Machine. Give me all the bodies I killed this year, we can find out.”
Can Kevin Holland book a spot among the top-15 middleweights?
The ‘Trailblazer’ has steadily climbed the middleweight division stairs with his charismatic skill set. He made his UFC debut at Dana White’s Contender Series in 2018 and enjoyed a substantial stint in the promotion until this year. 2020 has been a boon for Holland. He has made 4 octagon appearances and has crucified all of his opponents.
Holland has won two Fight of the Night bonuses for his blistering performances this year. Furthermore, he is also in contention for UFC Fighter of the Year. A win against Jacare Souza will help the ‘Trailblazer’ may help him seal the deal.
