    I'll tune in to the main event. I'm hoping Brunson can crush another hype train. Holland rubs me the wrong way.

    I'm all in on Holland. Dude seems personally irritating, but he is willing to step up and fight anyone at any time. I appreciate that kind of fighter. 5 times able to make weight and fight in 2020 is impressive, going 5-0 in that stretch is awesome.

    Bet Volk got it from Riddell. Seems to be an outbreak amongst the city kickboxing crew.

    Lemme get one takedown is the funniest thing I've ever heard in a fight.

    Holland can become a huge star.

    Except for a little danger striking in the second round that fight was light work for Derek Brunson. But Holland is such a character people will be looking forward to his next fight.

    Rashad Evans calling out Holland for his antics which is the most appropriate use of the word.

    I don't know if Holland will be a star. There is a lot of backlash on his antics going on right now. I thought it was pathetic. From round 3 on he should have turned it off and gotten serous. There was no reason for him not to KO Brunson tonight. He fought carelessly. If he was level headed he would have easily found the winning KO combination. He hit Brunson a good amount and then just swarmed into the clinch. He's been exposed, too. There is no way he makes a title run without running into a fighter who will just repeat what Brunson did to him on the ground.

    Dare I say, Holland showed lower fight IQ than Mike Perry in there.

    Happy for Brunson. Give that old man Costa or Cannonier next.
