Derek Brunson and Kevin Holland's friendly 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.
Cuddling people you hate is fun sometimes lmao
 
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 .
Yeah I will be mad if the winner of this doesn't get star treatment. One of the 2 deserves it.

I think at this point Holland has a higher ceiling with regards to how Big he could get though, Brunson as Champ would be like Jan a bit, humble and deserved via hard work and persistence, but if Holland managed to it'd be a massive massive fucking deal.

Nope, but thanks for tagging me lmao. I hadn't seen this yet. There was a time when these kind of antics would have had Derek rattled, but he seemed to take it in stride (at least outwardly). Nice to see.

I won't be disappointed by the outcome of this fight either way so long as it's fun and isn't another NC/DQ situation.

No worries :)

Very good point, Derek really seems to be on that unfazed old man shit here imo..I like the idea that his issue of getting psyched out seems to be dissolving with age and experience.

<{JustBleed}>For this fight now.
 
I think Hollands chin holds up better than Brunson's in this fight. I got Holland by KO.
 
Holland went to a split decision with a guy who was getting beaten by eryk anders, until anders lost his mind when he realised that he was actually winning a fight for the first time in years and kneed him in the head to get the no contest. Just let that sink in for a bit
That's MMA math on a newbie level son
 
That different shade of blonde on the top of Brunson’s head signals that his vertex is toast.
 
You guys need to get on the train. Kevin Holland is the next champ and is gonna crush Brunson and then izzy
 
I love genuinely friendly much more than phony beef.
