Kevin Holland has expressed his thoughts on a potential fight with Israel Adesanya. Holland, who is set to compete in the middleweight division against Roman Dolidze at UFC 307, could be in line for a significant matchup at 185lbs if he emerges victorious. However, the ‘Trailblazer‘ doesn’t seem too keen on facing Adesanya.
According to Holland, he finds Adesanya’s fighting style boring and believes that the current middleweight champion would simply run away from him. In an interview with ESPN, Holland stated, “Now he’s just some guy who can’t stop running backwards and getting clipped and throwing a lot of leg kicks… guys fighting like that… it’s like, that’s boring.”
Despite Holland’s lack of interest in the potential bout, it does make sense from a promotional standpoint. Both fighters are well-known names in the sport and their clash would undoubtedly draw significant attention.
Holland’s return to the middleweight division has sparked speculation about potential matchups for him. While an encounter with Adesanya may not be on his radar at the moment, fans will certainly be keeping an eye out for any developments in this intriguing storyline.
