Kevin Holland provided the weirdness that typifies both himself and a lot of middleweight fights. What he didn’t actually provide was much in the way of a concerted effort to defeat Derek Brunson, who’s really making one hell of a final push of sorts to challenge for the title.
The UFC Vegas 22 main event was not particularly thrilling but that’s to take nothing away from Brunson’s deserved victory. His wrestling, control time, and top-side grappling was too much for Holland to handle, but Holland’s usual antics of talking in the cage extended to chatting with Khabib Nurmagomedov in the middle of the fight.
