Jorge Masvidal and Kevin Holland have both had their share of fight week drama. Both fighters have gotten into altercations outside the octagon during their fight weeks. Therefore, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they went at each other at the UFC 287 fighter hotel lobby.
In a brief clip recently shared by UFC welterweight Belal Muhammad, we see Masvidal and Holland flapping gums at each other. Thankfully, the tension did not escalate to physical altercations, and the pair only traded verbal insults.
Although it is unclear what prompted the argument, it is understood that both Masvidal and Holland were not on the best of terms. In a recent clip, we can see ‘Big Mouth’ telling Masvidal’s opponent Gilbert Burns that he’s picking him to win at UFC 287, while also trashing Jorge Masvidal.

Masvidal is no stranger to altercations either. His infamous backstage scuffle with Edwards is still a cause for heat between the pair. The 39-year-old is also facing legal woes after allegedly attacking Colby Covington last year.
Therefore, fans had a few words for both fighters after the news of their altercation surfaced.
