Video – Kevin Holland asks Santiago Ponzinibbio if he can ‘Smell the weed’ in the arena mid-Fight at UFC 287

Kevin Holland delivered another UFC first during his welterweight clash with Santiago Ponzinibbio on Saturday night.

‘Trailblazer’ has become a fan-favorite in recent years for his highlight-reel knockouts and his gift for gab. He delivered both at UFC 287, scoring a massive third-round KO, but not before asking his opponent if he smelled something a little funky in the air. Near the four-minute mark of the opening round, Holland casually asked Ponzinibbio if he could smell weed. His opponent did not respond, but Holland wasn’t the only one to pick up on it.

Adding their unique brand of commentary to the contest, UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier and popular podcaster Joe Rogan both confirmed that they could smell the same scent that Kevin Holland clearly picked up on.
