Kevin Holland is known for his big mouth and humourous ways and that was once again on display when the fan-favorite welterweight analyzed his upcoming clash against Santiago Ponzinibbio.

'Trailblazer' has been a sensation since making his short-notice debut in the UFC. Despite not earning a contract on the Contender Series, the athlete was given a chance to back up his talk in a fight against the dangerous Thiago Santos,. Although Holland came up short, he fought his way into Dana White's good books.

Now, five years later, Kevin Holland continues to be playful on the mic, this time by listing the one thing Santiago Ponzinibbio does better than him ahead of their forthcoming bout.

"I'm f***ing hard to catch and I'm fast as f**k. I plan on going out there and being slick, smart, and just f***ing brilliant... I think I'm a better grappler. I think I'm a better grappler than most of these guys, I just don't show it. I think I'm a better striker. I think I got it everywhere mixed martial arts says I got it. Everything but the f***ing hair. The guy has the hair. I give it to him on that."
