Few made bigger impressions this weekend (or year) than Kevin Holland. At UFC 256 ‘Trail Blazer’ knocked out former Strikeforce Middleweight champion ‘Jacare’ Souza in a fashion never before seen inside the UFC Octagon.
After knocking Souza out with punches as he transitioned from the ground to his feet, Holland sealed his fifth win of the year. The American’s perfect in-cage 2020 featured TKO wins over Anthony Hernandez, Joaquin Buckley and Charlie Ontiveros. His other win this year was a split decision over Darren Stewart.
In his post-fight comments Holland called out another man who has had a successful 2020, Khamzat Chimaev.
