Kevin Holland Got a Performance Bonus

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

Kevin Holland got a performance bonus for being held down by a 36 year old wrestler?

Holland is clearly washed at this point, yet the UFC continues to book him every few months, despite him being the most overpaid fighter in the entire sport (reportedly on $250k/$250k show/win).

250k/250k for a fighter who cannot defend takedowns, defend submissions, or knock their opponents out (he has 1 knockout win in his last ten fights).

Does Kevin have a Loretta Hunt tape on Dana why does the UFC keep trotting this guy out there like he is some young exciting talent?

Holland looked good last night, defended all submission attempts by one of the best to get that accomplished. Looked like he coasted a bit near the end, not wanting to hurt or embarrass Gunnar more than necessary. Kevin always shows up with a good attitude, against anyone they want to put in front of him, in two weight classes. Good for him if he got another bonus.

There wasn't exactly much competition for performance bonuses last night.

They didn't give one to Chris Duncan who destroyed an opponent who was a massive favorite against him.

I am glad i missed most of this card because it looked pretty shitty on paper and looks like it about delivered the same as how the card looked.

The card was really shit for the most part, very few highlights. I also don't get the UFC's obsession with Holland.

I like holland and he's provided a lot of value to the UFC in a short time, but I think his run as a top fighters is over. Unless they wanna do something like Izzy vs holland to get Izzy back in the W collum, I think they need to part ways with him. I also think holland can make enough scratch to fight elsewhere, and maybe he comes back to the UFC later to fill in a late slot

He is the definition of midcard lol he's really not that good. I imagine there's plenty of guys outside the UFC at WW that would beat him.

It was one of the best fights on the card.

I can answer that.

He says "yes" whenever the phone rings, even week of the fight, regardless of how bad it is for his overall career... he now openly admits he's not interested in a belt or being the best, he just wants to get paid.

Consider he fights for cheap, this is a really good fit for UFC brass.

He's a loud mouth. The UFC loves loud mouths, results be damned

Kevin and Dana are really close friends, so it's obvious he gets treated like a king.

It was one of the best fights on the card.

Indeed, at least Holland was actually fighting and trying to finish his opponent out there, most of the fighters on the card were completely lethargic and coasting to decision wins....
Hes consistently entertaining win or lose, is rediculously active and does favors for the UFC all the time, unless he goes on a big losing streak he aint going anywhere.

Holland is a casual magnet. If you can't understand why he's around, I don't know what to tell you.

This happens and then you tell me that ufcisnotrigged

From last night, this is the one you get upset about?

I don't get why you felt compelled to make this thread, life is full of mysteries.

What the heck are you doing? Trying to spread positivity? You're in the wrong place for that, we don't take kindly to positivity around here.

Kevin shows up to fight he's Donald cerone without the grappling skills which is sucks .

Kevin is a one trick pony and everyone knows it.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

He's a highly entertaining fighter whose victories are almost entirely via submission or knockout, and he consistently fights three or more times per year, but let's queue the parade of sherdog losers reminding us that he "sucks" because he isn't a top 5 fighter.
