Derek Brunson knows Kevin Holland likes to talk, but he’s not listening ahead of their main event fight at UFC Vegas 22 on Saturday night.
Even before their matchup was announced, Holland was taking jabs at Brunson, and the veteran middleweight was more than happy to reply. That won’t be the case once they set foot inside the octagon, where Holland is also known for the gift of gab.
That was on display in Holland’s most recent win over Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza. Following a takedown from the grappling legend, he happily continued his verbal sparring until he delivered a series of punches that knocked out “Jacare” to earn one of the most impressive finishes in recent UFC history.
