"Quit playing... Book my fight @ufc"
Holland took to Twitter to express his thoughts on the unfolding Ian Garry saga, suggesting that Layla Anna-Lee, the Irishman's wife, might have orchestrated his withdrawal.
The American injected his spin into the discussion surrounding Layla Anna-Lee's previous work, 'How to be a WAG,' hurling serious accusations against her. He wrote:
"How to be a #mma WAG - Block comments on his social media. Spend his money (before he has it). Skip presser so nobody asks about the above. Give him food poisoning so he has to pull from fight. Then he will be sad and really think he needs you. #HowTo #WAG."
