Kevin Holland hilariously reveals where Santiago Ponzinibbio is superior to him
Kevin Holland is known for his big mouth and humourous ways and that was once again on display when the fan-favorite welterweight analyzed his upcoming clash against Santiago Ponzinibbio.
'Trailblazer' has been a sensation since making his short-notice debut in the UFC. Despite not earning a contract on the Contender Series, the athlete was given a chance to back up his talk in a fight against the dangerous Thiago Santos,. Although Holland came up short, he fought his way into Dana White's good books.
Now, five years later, Kevin Holland continues to be playful on the mic, this time by listing the one thing Santiago Ponzinibbio does better than him ahead of their forthcoming bout.
"I'm f***ing hard to catch and I'm fast as f**k. I plan on going out there and being slick, smart, and just f***ing brilliant... I think I'm a better grappler. I think I'm a better grappler than most of these guys, I just don't show it. I think I'm a better striker. I think I got it everywhere mixed martial arts says I got it. Everything but the f***ing hair. The guy has the hair. I give it to him on that."
Ponzinibbio has proven throughout the years that he has dynamite in his hands and will be hoping to catch Holland as he has done to many opponents inside the octagon thus far.
Similar to his opponent, the Argentine has a preference to keep the fight standing and implement a striking-heavy gameplan despite possessing a submission threat in the grappling department.
Check out what Kevin Holland had to say about Santiago Ponzinibbio in the post below.
"I don't care if it's good blood or bad blood I'm still going to hit you in the mouth."
