UFC fan-favorites Kevin Holland and Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thomspon are the stars of a new Jose Cuervo commercial that sees the two welterweight standouts having a friendly scrap inside the Octagon.

In December, Holland and Thompson competed in a highly entertaining UFC Fight Night main event that saw ‘Wonderboy’ walk out with his first win since 2020. Five months later, the two welterweight standouts are running it back. Just not in the way you expected, as seen in the video clip below courtesy of @mmas_squared on Twitter.

It’s not the first time the brand has had some fun with UFC fighters. Fans may remember a commercial featuring two-time title challenger Justin Gaethje and TUF alumnus Michael Chiesa engaged in a never-ending staredown while attending a UFC watch party.

Kevin Holland and ‘Wonderboy’ Get Back into the Win Column

Kevin Holland and Stephen Thompson went toe-to-toe in Orlando late last year in a five-round showdown after making a gentleman’s agreement to keep the fight standing. ‘Trailblazer’ would eventually live to regret the decision, suffering a TKO loss in the fourth round. It would be Holland’s second-straight defeat at the time, having previously been ragdolled by undefeated Chechen monster Khamzat Chimaev. Holland has since climbed back into the win column with a highlight-reel-worthy knockout of Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC 287.

Like his opponent, ‘Wonderboy’ bounced back from back-to-back losses of his own against top contenders Gilbert Burns and Belal Muhammad.

UFC 288 on Saturday night will host a potential welterweight title eliminator as Burns and Muhammad square off for the chance to take on reigning 170-pound king Leon Edwards later this year.

Kevin Holland warns Ian Garry ahead of potential clash: ‘Stay far the f*ck away’

Kevin Holland had some strong words of advice for rising welterweight prospect Ian Garry. ‘Trailblazer’ got back into the win column with a highlight-reel-worthy knockout of Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC 287 last weekend. Following his victory, Kevin Holland made an appearance on MMA Junkie Radio to discuss his third-round finish against the Argentinian and what […]

Kevin Holland had some strong words of advice for rising welterweight prospect Ian Garry.

‘Trailblazer’ got back into the win column with a highlight-reel-worthy knockout of Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC 287 last weekend. Following his victory, Kevin Holland made an appearance on MMA Junkie Radio to discuss his third-round finish against the Argentinian and what may come next.

“I really don’t feel the need to call too many people out – I mean, at 170,” Holland said. “If anybody at ’85 wants to fight again, we could do it. If anybody who’s ever beat me at 170 wants to do it again, we can do it. Other than that, it’s whoever the organization wants me to fight. If they want to keep giving me people that’s outside of the top 15, I’m cool with that too” (h/t MMA Junkie).

However, there was one man that Kevin Holland wanted to address; streaking Irish standout Ian Garry.

“I seen Ian Garry called my name,” Holland continued. “I think the dude is on a hell of a trajectory. I think he’s doing great things. I think he’s on the way to the top, and if he feels that I’m a name that he needs to help himself to the top, I think he should stay far the f*ck away, because he likes to strike and he does get dropped with a left hook. If you’ve seen my left hook these days, like I said, newfound relationship. It hurts. And the right hand, by time he’s ready to fight, will be crisp.

“I just don’t think it’s a smart fight for Ian Garry right this second. Like I said, maybe one day he’ll be a titleholder and I’ll be a BMF holder, and we can clash it up for big dollars or something like that.”

Ian Garry is 11-0 in his mixed martial career, including four-straight wins inside the Octagon. He’ll look to make it a dozen W’s on May 13 when he squares off with Daniel Rodriguez at a UFC Fight Night card in North Carolina.

Kevin Holland Could Make Another Quick Turnaround

Despite being less than a week removed from his win over Santiago Ponzinibbio, Kevin Holland is ready to get back inside the cage. ‘Trailblazer’ suggested he could return as early as May, noting that a clash with The Ultimate Fighter 15 winner Michael Chiesa could be on the horizon.

“I think May would be really quick, but I think that I would be rightfully so ready for a Chiesa fight if he wanted to step in there in May,” Holland told MMA Junkie Radio. “If not, we could do it after May, or whoever they have lined up for me, whenever they want me to go. It really doesn’t matter. If I get to go soon, awesome. If not, I could wait until slightly after July.”

“… Chiesa was just hot on the mind because he had a chance to fight on the card, didn’t get a chance to fight on the card. I never know what another man’s making, I never know what another man’s doing, I never know if another man has plans with his money that he’s potentially about to make, but I can at least offer a man a chance to get his show money by whooping his f*cking ass. So, that’s the least I can do.”

Jorge Masvidal slams Kevin Holland after UFC 287 run-In: ‘He called me a girl, he misgendered me’

Former UFC welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal has claimed he has no interest in providing any coverage to his recent run-in with division contender, Kevin Holland ahead of their respective outings at UFC 287 last weekend – detailing how the Californian striker “misgendered” him several times throughout their interactions. Masvidal, a former two-time title challenger […]

Masvidal, a former two-time title challenger at the welterweight limit under the promotion’s banner, co-headlined UFC 287 last weekend in Miami, Florida – suffering a one-sided unanimous decision loss to former title chaser, Gilbert Burns.

Following the defeat, Masvidal, a native of the ‘Sunshine State’, confirmed his retirement from mixed martial arts with immediate effect, citing a loss in efficiency in his recent fights, and how he only wanted to compete successfully against top contenders in the division.

However, prior to any sort of clash with Burns at the flagship event – Jorge Masvidal engaged in two separate altercations with Riverside native, Holland during fight week.

Initially Masvidal and Holland were corralled by teammates and UFC officials at the fighter hotel, before the two were then separated outside the venue following ceremonial weigh-ins, with Holland alleged to have confronted Masvidal, calling him “baby girl”.

Jorge Masvidals claims Kevin Holland “misgendered” him during UFC 287 run-in

Addressing his pair of run-ins with Holland, American Top Team veteran, Masvidal claimed he did not give a “flying f*ck” about the outspoken challenger.

“I don’t give a flying f*ck about this guy [Kevin Holland],” Jorge Masvidal told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. “If I run into him in a parking lot, we can have a discussion man-to-man, but like to fight this guy, or to hype anything up for a fight? No thanks. The guy’s a quitter and a bum. He called me a girl – he misgendered, he straight up misgendered me. He said it himself that he misgendered me. And I won’t stand for that. I won’t take that.”

“I’m like, ‘Don’t play with me, bro.’” Jorge Masvidal explained. “I’m not here to play with you in any way share or form. I don’t give a f*ck about your existence. If you do good, good. And if you do bad, I don’t give a f*ck. Just stay the f*ck away from me. You’re not gonna misgender me either.”

Featuring on the main card of UFC 287 himself, Holland managed to turn in his first victory inside three outings, defeating ATT staple, Santiago Ponzinibbio with a third round KO in a highlight-reel stoppage.

Kevin Holland delivered another UFC first during his welterweight clash with Santiago Ponzinibbio on Saturday night.

‘Trailblazer’ has become a fan-favorite in recent years for his highlight-reel knockouts and his gift for gab. He delivered both at UFC 287, scoring a massive third-round KO, but not before asking his opponent if he smelled something a little funky in the air. Near the four-minute mark of the opening round, Holland casually asked Ponzinibbio if he could smell weed. His opponent did not respond, but Holland wasn’t the only one to pick up on it.

Adding their unique brand of commentary to the contest, UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier and popular podcaster Joe Rogan both confirmed that they could smell the same scent that Kevin Holland clearly picked up on.

Kevin Holland Returns to His Winning Ways

Kevin Holland quickly got back to work, adding another brilliant win by way of knockout to his already impressive resume. It was a big win for ‘Trailblazer’ as he was coming off back-to-back losses against undefeated Chechen monster Khamzat Chimaev and perennial contender Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson. Following the third-round finish, Holland called out the self-proclaimed BMF champion Jorge Masvidal, demanding a shot at the Miami native’s homebrew title. The callout was by no means random as it came on the heel of two separate altercations between Holland and Masvidal during UFC 287’s fight week festivities.

Unfortunately, it does not look like Holland will get his shot at ‘Gamebred’ as Masvidal announced his retirement from mixed martial arts following a decisive loss to No. 5 ranked welterweight Gilbert Burns on Saturday night.

Back in the win column, Kevin Holland will likely look for a top-15 opponent next. Who would you like to see ‘Trailblazer’ matchup with when he returns to the Octagon?

Kevin Holland got back into the win column in a big way on Saturday night during the UFC 287 main card.

Emanating from Miami-Dade Arena, Kevin Holland delivered another memorable performance that ended with him scoring a highlight-reel-worthy knockout of his Argentinian opponent, Santiago Ponzinibbio. Throughout the first two rounds, Holland took a much more measured approach, opting to utilize his length and reach advantage. To combat that, Ponzinibbio brilliantly attacked the lead leg of Holland in an effort to disrupt his movement.

The strategy worked well for Ponzinibbio throughout the first 13 minutes of the contest. With less than two minutes to go in the bout, Ponzinibbio threw another calf kick that was caught by Holland. Taking his opponent off balance, Holland uncorked a massive left hand that caught Ponzinibbio clean and immediately rendered him unconscious. Before he could do any further damage, the referee stepped in, calling for the stoppage.

Ponzinibbio protested the stoppage, but the replay clearly showed that his lights were out as he crashed face-first to the canvas.

Official Result: Kevin Holland def. Santiago Ponzinibbio via KO (strikes) at 3:16 of Round 3

Both featuring on this weekend’s UFC 287 card in Miami, Florida – hometown favorite and two-time title challenger, Masvidal returns to the Octagon in a showdown against Gilbert Burns.

As for Riverside striker, Holland, the contender returns to the ‘Sunshine State’ for his second consecutive fight, taking on Argentine veteran, Santiago Ponzinibbio.

Earlier this week, footage emerged of both Kevin Holland and Jorge Masvidal engaging in an altercation and verbal back-and-forth at the fighter hotel, with security officials keeping the two at distance.

And following last night’s ceremonial weigh-ins, it appears the two were involved in somewhat of an altercation again.

In footage captured by TMZ Sports, Jorge Masvidal and Holland are kept separated by coaches and bystanders on the streets of Miami, with the former attempting to engage with the Californian, despite the best efforts of his team to keep him under wraps.

Speaking with the outlet, Holland’s manager, Oren Hodak explained how his client said, “sup, baby girl” to Masvidal – resulting in both this latest altercation and the earlier scuffle at the fighter hotel on Wednesday.

Jorge Masvidal has been sidelined for over a year

Without a win in his last three straight Octagon outings, Masvidal most recently dropped a unanimous decision loss to Colby Covington at UFC 272 back in March of last year.

As for Holland, the former middleweight contender headlined UFC Fight Night Orlando back in December of last year, suffering a fourth round TKO loss to former title challenger and common-opponent, Stephen Thompson.

UFC 287 takes place at the Miami-Dade Center in Miami, Florida – with an undisputed middleweight championship rematch between, champion, Alex Pereira – and former titleholder, Israel Adesanya taking headlining honors.
