Holland beat debutant Charlie Ontiveros via verbal submission and became the first UFC fighter to register four wins in 2020. He joined Gegard Mousasi and Israel Adesanya as only the third UFC Middleweight to win four fights in a calendar year.
Kevin Holland immediately went at Israel Adesanya from inside the cage, and “The Last Stylebender” answered back.
After the event, Adesanya told the The Schmo that he thinks Kevin Holland is “only a fan,” who does not know what to do with his emotions.
Israel Adesanya takes a shot at Kevin Holland
The Middleweight Champion called Kevin Holland out in the interview, saying that he was disrespectful when approaching him at the hotel they were all staying in. Israel Adesanya said he believes Holland is a fan, but instead of coming at him like that, he should sign a contract to fight him inside the Octagon.
When asked if it would really come to Kevin Holland challenging the reigning Middleweight Champion, Israel Adesanya said that was for Holland to decide.
However, with the kind of attitude Holland has, Adesanya did not think he would make it far enough in the company.
Israel Adesanya, meanwhile, is moving a weight above to Light Heavyweight to face the champion Jan Blachowicz.
UFC President Dana White confirmed at the press conference that with Robert Whittaker unwilling to fight Adesanya at the moment, there is nothing to stop “The Last Stylebender” from challenging for the 205-pound title.
