Derek Brunson and Kevin Holland's friendly staredown

[burningspear]

I get Big Brother Brunson is going to kill him vibes..

Holland is one of those guys who can make you look bad even if you're in full mount lol

He can, but not against the best wrestler he's ever faced imo... Thiago Santos absolutely owned Holland on the ground, Brunson I think is better than Santos at both getting it to the ground and offence whilst there... Holland better have some tricks up his sleeve or I can see him getting 10-8'd for 5 rounds lol.

This Kevin Holland guy is too much

in the best way.
A true good natured showman. The type you can cheer on without feeling like you're supporting a goon or villain.

To be fair Santos is ENORMOUS and now a 205er, and he took that on short notice.
Not to say he can't get taken down, but I would be astounded with any 10-8s that don't involve someone getting rocked on the feet. He managed to stall and attack from bottom against JACARE.

Kevin Holland is a natural-born showman. Dude is always up to something. Never a dull moment, he's a funny guy.

I mean he also got smashed on the ground against Allen and Meerschart took him down 6 times..

I just think Holland has shown pretty shocking takedown defence in a lot of his fights, I could see him getting massively wrestle fucked against a really strong in form vet.

It's definitely his weakness, but he isn't getting 10-8 Izzied left and right. In the Allen fight he had offensive moments on the ground too.

Dunno man, Brunson has never been submitted or taken down, I just can't see anything other than immediate KO for Kevin, or a horrible horrible night.

 

[PurpleDrank]

Lmao, Holland and Izzy gonna be cuddling if they ever staredown

Doubtful, Kevin definitely seems to have a grudge against him, mentioned that Izzy has disrespected him twice and is set out on revenge... Unless he's just being all WWE which you never know.

I wasn't suggesting he would take Brunson down, but he has plenty of rounds to work and presents threats everywhere. Good matchup.

And even if it's fake, they'll do it well.

fair fair, you'd just think with Brunson being soooo much better at takedowns and that being such an annoying threat to Holland, Hollands striking will probably be unconfident, whilst Brunson's will be complimented, we'll see I guess

It is a good matchup, despite my words i'm pretty unsure who to route for... Really like Brunson, but I kind of want Holland to go on to become a huge star .

You know Conor McGregor respects the touchbutt of Kevin Holland
