Welterweights Kevin Holland and Santiago Ponzinibbio just clashed at UFC 287 in Miami.
The first round was a stand up battle where Holland used his range well. In the last seconds, “Trailblazer” landed a right hand that seemed to rock his opponent.
In the second round, Ponzinibbio landed good leg kicks but Holland was more aggressive and landed a clean right hand that hurted his opponent.
The third round continued on the feet, and eventually Holland knocked out his opponent with a loopling left hook.
After the win, he called out Miami’s own Jorge Masvidal, who’s fighting in the co-main event.
“Shout out to Jorge Masvidal. But there is no badder motherfucker than me. See you soon boy,” Holland said.
“Trailblazer” is finally back in the win column after back-to-back losses against Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson and Khamzat Chimaev. He now holds a pro record of 24-9.
