UFC welterweight Kevin Holland briefly retired after losing to Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 279 in September. The retirement was short-lived, but Holland recently claimed that he will hang up the gloves again – if UFC gives Khamzat Chimaev a shot at the middleweight title.

”It’s still on the table. If I wake up Sunday morning after beating ‘Wonderboy’ and you guys have Chimaev fighting for a 185-pound world title, and he’s never won a fight at ’85 in the top 15, I’m retired,” Holland said at a recent press conference.

”I understand business is business, but favoritism is favoritism. The kid missed weight. I had to step up and fight him after he missed weight to make the fight happen. I shouldn’t have had to do that.”

Kevin Holland: ”Smoke weed and play video games”

Kevin Hollad saved the day when he took the short notice fight against Chimaev at UFC 279.

”I did what I had to do. I did what I was supposed to do as a company man, so I’m sitting here telling you guys now: Certain things have to go certain ways. If they don’t go certain ways and we don’t get what we were promised, the things we talked about aren’t honored, you might as well give me my resignation papers and go home and smoke weed and play video games for the rest of my life.”
