An MMA legend recently delivered a brutal reality check to Kevin Holland after they were involved in a tense exchange ahead of UFC 311. 'The Trailblazer' wasted no time by sharing his feelings and even expressed interest in fighting him.
'Trailblazer' has showcased how fearless he is throughout his career, so it was no surprise that he was involved in a heated exchange with MMA legend Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson on his JAXXON PODCAST.
During his latest appearance, Holland pressed the MMA legend for a past comment and mentioned that he wouldn't be opposed to fighting him rather than focusing on his UFC 311 bout:
"That's what I said, if you said, 'Fu*k it', to me, I usually say, 'Fu*k you'...No, [Jackson isn't a funny guy], just has temper tantrum problems...[I don't think people evolve], some do, not Jackson...I still want to [fight you], I don't give a fu*k about the fight on Saturday...I'm being real."
