UFC 287: Kevin Holland reveals why he lost respect for Jorge Masvidal
Kevin Holland claims to be a huge fan of Jorge Masvidal, or at least he used to be. The welterweight contender got into a heated exchange with 'Gamebred' backstage at UFC 287.

According to 'Trailblazer', he was even “a huge fan” of 'Gamebred' because he admired the Miami native’s gangsterish bravado but he lost his adulation towards Masvidal because of the sucker punch incidents, and moreover, the “lies” he said about him. Speaking in the post-fight media interview, Holland stated:
“[I respected] Everything that he did before he started sucker punching people, I was a huge fan of [his]. I was a big fan of Jorge Masvidal at all before he started doing all this bullsh** but after that, I just kind of lost taste of it and then the lies, [about me]."
Masvidal got into a backstage altercation with current welterweight champion Leon Edwards following a UFC Fight Night event in London. He also sneaked in from behind and assaulted bitter rival Colby Covington following a unanimous decision loss to 'Chaos' at UFC 272.
