Holland finished by establishing that he isn’t officially challenging the YouTube star, but he’s considering it. ‘I’m not saying that’s what I want to do. But what I’m trying to say? I want to have fun. I want to go out there and have fun. I’m going to go out there and have fun.”
Holland also discussed the upcoming fight against Brunson this weekend. ‘I’m not impressed,’ Holland said. ‘Just like he said he wasn’t impressed with my win over [Ronaldo] ’˜Jacare’ [Souza], who beat him twice. Knocked him out. Manhandled him. Just like he wasn’t impressed with that victory, I’m not impressed with the victories that he’s had.”
“In my situation, it’s no disrespect to the guy at all. [Edmen] Shahbazyan wasn’t beaten. Everybody says people who haven’t been beat, the 0, the 0, the 0. The 0 just means you probably don’t know what it’s like to go through a seriously hard grind. Derek Brunson put him in a serious, hard grind and the guy broke.”
