Ingenuity has long been a strength for Ultimate Fighting Championship workhorse Kevin Holland.
The Dana White’s Contender Series graduate dismissed two-time Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Fighting World Championships gold medalist Ronaldo Souza with punches in the first round of their UFC 256 middleweight showcase on Dec. 12, 2020 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Souza succumbed to blows 1:45 into Round 1.
Holland remained calm under duress after being taken down by the former Strikeforce champion. He initially threatened Souza with a triangle and elbows from his back, returned to an upright position and made a pass at a guillotine choke.
