Kevin Holland came up short in his UFC Night bout with Jack Della Maddalena. However, he wasted no time in calling the shot at him for his next bout.
In the run-up to UFC Night, Holland was especially blunt about his lack of interest in directly pursuing UFC gold. Instead, he expressed his desire to remain constantly active, saying that he preferred to fight as often as possible rather than be tied to a belt.
Kevin Holland targets Neil Magny
In the end, Kevin Holland vs. Jack Della Maddalena would underperform in the eyes of many fans. JDM would leave UFC Night with a split decision, in a fight that did not live up to the expectations that some had. However, classically, Holland wasted no time trying to get right back into the Octagon for another fight. He took to his Instagram Stories just hours after the fight, to give props to Della Maddalena, while calling for a fight with Neil Magny.
“Props to Jack good guard I would like to go see him again! I see that everyone is talking about a poor performance, I honestly thought I had overcome it, but what do I know, for those who are with me, how about… @neil_magny170 the loser cuts his hair, “Holland wrote. Holland then posted another comment about the haircut, showing that Magny had reposted his comment. He adds that this suggests that Magny is willing to fight.
Whether or not the UFC is on board with booking Kevin Holland vs. Neil Magny remains to be seen, but it certainly looks like both men are up for the challenge. Maybe this hair-cutting bet will end in the fighting deal, too.
