It's ok I lost a £50 parlay. 

I still ranked higher than you for this card so that's a W.

He said he broke his hand in the first round. Don't get me wrong cause Wonderboy could've caused it, but it also could've just broken it while punching. By the third round, he literally didn't have his right arm. He won the first round, won the first part of the 2nd round, and then started losing once his hand really started hurting. I think Wonderboy looked good, but I think without a broken hand, it would've looked a little different

The cheek of Holland to complain about not getting things from the UFC when he fights like this.

Hope he gets cut honestly.

It wasn’t his losses they were irrelevant to this fight. Like I said 25 minutes is a long time to not get clipped and he did but survived it. On another day maybe he doesn’t. I have noticed that Holland is bad at finishing opponents after hurting them though. He loops his shoots so always misses the follow up strikes and allows his opponents to get underhooks and recover. I think he has a choice to make. no honour amongst thieves. He could have stayed on top after that takedown if he cares more about winning and getting in the rankings then he would have been 2 rounds up. Anyone see what point exactly that his hand broke at because he was ahead on strikes after the first 2 rounds. Hopefully it doesn’t become a recurring injury like most hand problems

Kevin Holland is allegedly a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Travis Lutter, but never takes the fight to the ground against a far superior striker.  He is a fraud and should retire.

It's not really an excuse, but just a matter of fact. He stopped throwing his right hand and defending with his right arm cause he broke his hand. Not saying Wonderboy would've lost, but I think it would've been a 48-47 for Wonderboy in a decision than a masterclass. To say that the third and fourth round would've looked the same without the broken hand is plain stupid

Yeah the cheek of a guy to complain about not getting stuff after fighting like this. Imagine being such a bad employee to be putting fight of the nights on and to save the card by fighting khamzat on a few days notice when you were matched up against a striker before and hate grappling. He’s not getting cut. He has name value and is a company guy. He just needs to decide if he wants to be more than that because 170 is a lot tougher than 185 and has better wrestlers

He should not have let Thompson up when he clearly has a big advantage on the ground. 

He now has a broken hand and fell down the rankings because he wanted to "entertain the crowd". 

He's not a killer and doesn't have a championship mentality like myself. I would have finished Thompson.

Damn y'all change your opinion real quick. I think y'all just like to **** on people when they lose. He was a dude that stepped in on a day's notice to make an event watchable when the UFC's "golden boy" did a horrible job at cutting weight. He then got rewarded for that and went 4 rounds with the best striker in the division with a broken hand for most of the fight and literally made it a pure standup fight to make this fight night better. If you think this dude is bad for the company, you are just dumb and don't understand marketing

He has an advantage on the ground but it isn’t big. Burns got thompson down and couldn’t finish him there. Holland wasn’t going to smoke thompson on the ground but could have probably guaranteed himself the round. Would have still been a fun fight. He hasn’t fell down the rankings. Dana likes him so he’s never going to be far from the top 15 and if he ended up beating wonderboy he would have jumped to number 6 he probably would have got smoked by the top 5 anyway. This win is great for thompson but he can’t beat the top 5 and will lose to quite a few of the other ranked guys as well. He’s not easy to submit but ever since weidman dropped off wonderboys takedown defence also dropped off

Are you an idiot my friend?

Holland would rather be a journeyman that comes to smile and fight like he doesn't care about becoming a champion. 

If I was his coach I'd have him doing 500 press up's every morning for a month.

i guess i'm in the minority, but i don't think Holland was going to be "ranked" if he won this fight nor do i think he needs to retire or be cut like i've seen some say here.  

This was a fun fight for the crowd and a national televised audience....that's it.  People got to see an entertaining fight where the vet got one more W and Holland will still draw eyeballs  

Idk what you do with WB, he's not beating anyone in the top 5, nor does he deserve to fight anyone near the top of the pecking order. Put him against Rudeboy Brown   

Holland has been a good soldier, just put him in potential exciting fights....put him against Luque or Barbarena when he heals up.
