Holland lost his second fight in three weeks last night when he faced Marvin Vettori in the main event of UFC Vegas 23 last night. Similarly to his fight with Derek Brunson three weeks ago, Holland struggled on the ground. Vettori won the fight 50-44 on all three judges scorecards.

Holland has since taken to social media to react to his loss and he has called for a fight between the two men who beat him.

Speaking to his 300,000+ followers on Instagram, Holland apologised to Darren Till for not beating Vettori. Till was originally supposed to fight Vettori in a tasty European match up, however Till pulled out of the fight with a broken collerbone with less than two weeks to go, this prompting Holland to step in.

“@darrentill2 sorry I didn’t get the job done, been a fan of your style and spirit a while so it’s always an honour to step up if you’re down, hope that doesn’t sound weird. Also wish you a speedy recovery.”

Kevin Holland then went on to call for Derek Brunson V Marvin Vettori whilst taking a poke at the similar style they used to beat him in their fights.

“@derekbrunson vs @marvinvettori next since you both hump so well…. props to you both you made me a better man.”

Holland then went on to say he believes Arnold Allen, who beat Sodiq Yusuff in the co-main event of last night’s card, would beat the pair.

“@b_allen185 is better than you both.” Holland wrote.

Do you think Vettori and Brunson should fight and if they do who wins?

UFC president Dana White wasn’t a fan of what he saw this past weekend.

Derek Brunson and Kevin Holland took part in a middleweight bout that headlined UFC Vegas 22 this past weekend. Many expected it to be an explosive and entertaining affair.

However, it was anything but as Brunson comfortably earned a drab unanimous decision win after more or less taking Holland down and keeping him down for majority of the fight.

The fight was more entertaining simply because of Holland talking throughout but at some point, many expected him to look to actually win the contest. That never happened and once Holland was taken down in the fifth round with just under a minute and a half remaining, White — who was sitting cageside with Khabib Nurmagomedov — had enough.

“I can’t watch anymore of this, I’ll see you in the back,” White told Nurmagomedov.

You can watch it below courtesy of Reddit:

It’s hard to predict who White was more mad at, if anyone.

Brunson suspected it was him because he didn’t end up getting the finish but stated that if he were to get a knockout in his next fight, all would be forgotten.

However, if anyone should be blamed for the nature of the fight, it should be Holland who never seemed to really take it seriously.

Who do you blame for the fight being rather uneventful?
