Make no mistake, Kevin Holland is still a gamer.
Despite entering UFC 302 on a two-fight losing streak, Holland pulled off the highlight of the evening with grisly his come-from-behind win over Michal Oleksiejczuk. After getting dropped with a punch early, Holland caught Oleksiejczuk in a nasty armbar from the bottom position then wrenched until the Oleksiejczuk’s arm was visibly injured, prompting referee Herb Dean to rush in and stop the action just 94 seconds into the fight. Oleksiejczuk immediately protested the stoppage, but Dean likely only saved him from further damage.
Holland brutal victory reignited a decision-heavy UFC 302 card that was lacking in big moments. Check out how the MMA world reacted to his comeback performance below.
