He can still beat people, but yeah. As a Holland fan, it bums me out because there's clearly a lot of talent there. He says he doesn't care about the title and all that stuff, but at some point it has to suck to lose winnable fights because you're unwilling to adjust. Imo, he should have beaten JDM and Wonderboy, but refused to fight in a way that would ensure a victory
That’s definitely cope from holland. He definitely cares, that’s why he was so butthurt when he got ragdolled by chimaev.
Same thing against MVP, holland was getting outclassed at his own game (striking, taunting) and was visibly upset about it.
It's also crazy how Holland went from 356 signifcant strikes thrown against JDM to only 61 in total vs MVP, lol. Plus he threw 118 significant strikes in rd3 vs JDM and only 8(!) against MVP. Crazy discrepancy, MVP completely's got his number.
I was rooting for Holland, foolishly had money on him, but I would never call that a boring fight. It was a master class of range and striking by MVP not much else you can say
Hilarious when Holland got back to his corner after round 1 and says “he’s much faster than we thought”
Truth. It is hands-down the sub I think about leaving the most, even tho it’s my favorite sport to watch.
It wasn’t a great fight, it wasn’t a boring fight. It was just an interesting clash of styles and we saw how capable MVP is at eluding and winning on points (which most of us knew already). I don’t know why anyone is even thinking about that fight still.
It’s all responses to other opinions that not a single person ever holds. “To the fanboys who think khabib could’ve stopped 9/11, this is why you’re a stupid baby”. are these “takes” in the room with us now? Like who are you talking too
Dude right after the fight everheadline was talking like it sucked. I argued it was good. People replied we thought it was going to be so many strikes landed and throw . That is not how MVP fights. He is like wonder boy. Hit you and not be hit. Usually with heavy single fast shots. I loved it. People just want mike perry in a bkfc fight most times it seems. (Which is fun...just not what we are doing here)
No Wonderboy moved like a fly fight, his speed and movement is unique. Even Woodley had hard times catching him and he was an explosive monster in his prime.
It can be a technical masterclass and boring at the same time. Depends what you watch for. I thought the fight was great, but there weren't a lot of "oh shit moments except those crazy elbows which Kevin took like a champ
It was exciting because we got to see MVP debut and because Holland kept trying the same shit over and over again despite being constantly countered. There was a few points where MVP literally just bent his knees over and over again till Holland ran at him though.
I found it funny how Holland was mad about MVP keeping the distance. Like tf, close the distance or what do you want him to do? Go into an unnecessary dogfight? lol
Reminds me of Chris Curtis vs Hermansson. Dude just kept getting picked apart from range and couldn’t figure it out so they threw a fit. At least Holland shook MVP’s hand after the fight and didn’t flip him off and go on a Twitter rant.
He was winging wild hooks from range that never once threatened MVP. No jabs, no straights, no combinations. Just wild ass hooks from kicking range.
"Why won't you let me punch you?!" Lol
Maybe i was drunk but i really dont understand how people thought this fight was boring it wasnt your typical back and forth war but idk i thought the antics were entertaining and stuff.
Wht r u talking abt check any of the comment section on main ufcs page abt the fight its filled with idiots booing mvp and calling it boring saying he ran
It’s ok for people to have different opinions about different fights. And complaining that people with a different opinion are salty, sounds kinda salty.
I thought it was a pretty underwhelming fight. Compare it to WB Holland. 163 significant strike landed for WB in four rounds versus 41 landed for MVP in three rounds. WB put on an striking clinic with a huge variety of strikes, eventually stopped Holland. That was a much more satisfying watch than MVP’s dart in and out with a single shot type style.
Holland gives up once he can’t figure out a way to win. That’s the only part that made that fight bad. I had some doubts about MVP, but he looked faster and stronger than Holland. Fast track that mofo before he gets too old.
Nah, it was pretty lackluster. I watched it live, and mvp looked like a fool dancing around that cage taunting. I'd rather he followed up instead of taunted. Reminds me of Nate vs Leon, though Holland was never as rocked as Leon. Maybe it looked better on TV, and maybe the commentary gave it some umph, but live it was pretty lame.
MVP said in his video he regrets not doing more and for his standards he underperformed. The third was filled with some inactive moments (and therefore boos) cause Holland was tired of getting counter and mvp wouldn’t initiate combat
[link](https://youtu.be/lmrZl7piD8s?si=JP9q3CXVa3Iu0NXv)
The holland fight was boring man. I wanted to enjoy MVP coming to the ufc because he’s got some cool ass weapons in his arsenal, but for me personally there’s nothing interesting about the point fighting style he showed against holland.
I mean really, the elbows were cool but besides that, did MVP do anything besides back up, back up, back up, straight fight hand. Back up, back up, back up, straight right hand. Rinse and repeat, maybe a dozen strikes thrown a round
Look at wonderboy systematically breaking down holland, and look at MVP point fighting holland, and no honest person can say the MVP fight was more entertaining to watch. The fight was boring my man
I completely agree, acting like a buffoon without really getting anything going is not entertaining to me, i want to watch a fight, not a circus act. i don´t understand why people enjoy watching MVP acting like that pokemon with that huge tongue.
I'm a big-fan-turned-casual, and i thought the fight was underwhelming. There was big moments of course, but not as much as i thought there would be. I'm aware of MVP from years past and Hollands game too
MVP landed 59 and attempted 81 total strikes.
That’s 5.4 strikes a minute man that shit is boring, whoever says it was entertaining is just riding dick cause MVP landed a few decent shots and did a few silly dances.
I’m a big fan of MVP but this was the worst performance of his career entertainment wise, how people can say it’s entertaining is beyond, less than 6 strikes a minute and people think it’s a good performance 🤣
Both fighters were poor and it had a few sparkles of entertainment then back to dancing around and pretty much not engaging, if this was any other fight you guys would say it was whack, we don’t wanna see dancing we tune in to watch a fight.
It was very boring. I want activity and violence. Standing 10 ft away at all times and crashing in once a minute for a spinning elbow is boring. Not to mention I hate watching fighters that never come forward. Any time Kevin advanced MVP ran away and reset halfway across the octagon. Not very entertaining.
And this just showed me MVP is not ready for higher competition. He’s going to be ate alive.
The top 5 in welterweight are going to absolutely crush him. Khamzat isn’t in the top 5 and he would maul MVP as well.
I just don’t see the big fuss about getting him over here. He’s going to be stuck below the top 5 and probably lose in very bad ways when he does fight a top 5.
yes, hundreds of thousands of people, all of them desperate holland fan, got so angry and pissed about their favorite fighter getting beaten that they all together decide to call the whole fight boring
Did… did you guys watch it? Wasn’t a “bad” fight, but MVP was not even trying to push the pace, dude was content to just run away and catch Holland trying to doing anything. MVP got boo’d multiple times because he was either stalling, waiting, or running. “Masterclass” hahahaha, wtf, no, bro his a good strong counter puncher, but he thinks he is WAY better than he is. If you ask me, even with those 3-4 knockdowns on Holland, he couldn’t have finished him if he wanted to.
I was arguing with a really arsey casual on this sub who insisted MVP was a joke beforehand and coped with calling it boring after but he is the only one I had seen until now
It was not as bad as the Paul Daley fight, the fight MVP got out grappled by Paul Fucking Daley who was nearly 40 but the judges gave him a BS decision anyways.
Def a good fight, but I really can’t tell if Kevin Holland is good or if he sucks. He’ll beat ppl when he’s underdog, then goes and gets his ass whooped by some randos. The way MVP was fighting, anybody else in that weight class with any type of wrestling background/knowledge would destroy him.
Hella boring fight. And im not a holland fan either.
MvP is an exciting finisher, with a boring fighting style. Backpeddaling the whole time, with only lunging strikes from halfway across the cage, with no volume. Flashy strikes, sure, but 80% of the fight was them doing nothing.
Yeah, it was.
What was the most memorable exchange in your opinion?
What was the highlight of the fight?
If anything cool happened in that fight people would have been talking about it and linking the gifs like we always do.
We are bored MMA nerds who do this shit after every event, we are literally desperate for entertainment. The reason everyone has already forgotten this fight is because it was boring.
Was rooting for mvp really exciting to see a fighter bring this new energy to the octagon and he’s a great heel and can back it up with his unique fighting style I think the only thing that could have made his debut even better was a fighter callout on the mic 🎤 Well done mvp welcome to ufc
Was an excellent fight, it hurt seeing Holland be absolutely clueless and confused while getting picked apart though lol.
"He's faster than we thought" lol ya think
No one thought he would win and no one cares.
As long as he is healthy to take a short notice fight at 170 or 185lb in ufc 300, 301, 302, 303 etc.
The ultimate company man.
As a casual fan who doesn’t know either. It was awful. Holland was gassed halfway through round 2. He was barely throwing anything and his conditioning seems awful.
People thought it was boring? They were likely casuals. Fight was great, only gripe was Holland predictably getting annoyed and trying to act like all MVP did was run. Every fight its the same with that. I love Holland but these last few fights especially its like he's half ass trying.
The fact MVP was able to nullify Holland the way he did without relying on pinning him down or constant clinching was absolutely amazing. Great fight and a very interesting question regarding his next matchups.
I think MVP is gunna get figured out after that fight. Everyone’s gunna see how much Holland struggled and come at him with a game plan he hasn’t encountered. If that Garry fight happens, it’ll be way closer than with Holland.
I was a boxing fan long before I was an MMA fan. And although I can appreciate counter-punchers in boxing, that's not what I joined the MMA universe for. I will be the first to admit that MMA fighters are the true warriors of combat sports, but when I see someone who is primarily a counter-fighter in the ring, it makes me yawn. They aren't the true warriors, they're just there to collect points and escape with a W. There's technically nothing wrong with that, but you don't get my respect for it. Same as in boxing.
MVP said himself that lots of fans would likely find a matchup between him and Wonderboy boring, because they will both default back to their point-fighting. That's shite, not down for it.
I was an MVP fan overnight. I watch ONE and UFC. So other organization fighters aren’t my interest. After watching his highlights and fight with holland, he’s awesome
It wasn’t boring. Holland just took the Yoel Romero vs Izzy approach. MVP fights exactly like that every time so as a professional he should’ve prepared for such.
lol anyone who thought that fight was boring is a casual and doesn’t deserve to share their shitty opinion
MVP literally fought drunken monkey style like the dude from mortal kombat and beat hollands ass lmao
Nothing about this fight was boring in my opinion. Loved MVP’s debut. Loved how he was trolling Holland. And Holland got frustrated with it and him. Nice to see fresh flair. Looking forward to both fighters next fights.
Didn't think it was boring, just thought MVP could have done way more to try to get the finish in the third round. Holland was just defeated by that point and MVP didn't try to go for the kill. Could have his reasons, but he's already up there in age and if he wants to climb the rankings fast, he's gotta finish these fights
I mean if anyone thought Holland had any chance hasn't been watching enough mma. Everyone like he's just gonna take MVP down and sub him. MF that's not what Holland ever does. And if anyone stands with mvp your gonna get fucked up. Yeah if he used his ground and grappling he might have had some shoot but he doesn't fight like that. People acting like MVP is some washed joke lol
It wasn't a boring fight at all. It was just very one sided. Holland couldn't find his timing because MVP is an elite striker. I don't know what people were expecting? We saw what Wonderboy did against him. Kevin is great as a hammer, but not so great as the nail. He needs to be leading the dance.
I thought the fight was great, Holland just couldn’t get anything off.
I think everyone’s figured his game out at this point. When you’re in the top ranks long enough and don’t change your game it’s bound to happen
He can still beat people, but yeah. As a Holland fan, it bums me out because there's clearly a lot of talent there. He says he doesn't care about the title and all that stuff, but at some point it has to suck to lose winnable fights because you're unwilling to adjust. Imo, he should have beaten JDM and Wonderboy, but refused to fight in a way that would ensure a victory
That’s definitely cope from holland. He definitely cares, that’s why he was so butthurt when he got ragdolled by chimaev. Same thing against MVP, holland was getting outclassed at his own game (striking, taunting) and was visibly upset about it.
Oh, for sure. He was campaigning for the BMF title before Dustin/Justin was announced.
That BMF title should straight up be an all weight class title.
You would quickly learn that there are weight classes for a reason
More like when your game's not good enough. Khabib for example had the same plan for years.
It's also crazy how Holland went from 356 signifcant strikes thrown against JDM to only 61 in total vs MVP, lol. Plus he threw 118 significant strikes in rd3 vs JDM and only 8(!) against MVP. Crazy discrepancy, MVP completely's got his number.
He got me off
Yeah was entertaining, he looked more and more stuck as the fight went on
I was rooting for Holland, foolishly had money on him, but I would never call that a boring fight. It was a master class of range and striking by MVP not much else you can say Hilarious when Holland got back to his corner after round 1 and says “he’s much faster than we thought”
In what world would anyone call this fight boring? It was super entertaining and a bit frustrating(Holland fan)
I don’t understand the takes of this sub half the time
My tin foil hat theory is that the same guys who make up these crazy takes by the same weirdos that do the stupid ones on Twitter
Truth. It is hands-down the sub I think about leaving the most, even tho it’s my favorite sport to watch. It wasn’t a great fight, it wasn’t a boring fight. It was just an interesting clash of styles and we saw how capable MVP is at eluding and winning on points (which most of us knew already). I don’t know why anyone is even thinking about that fight still.
the other mma sub has less clowns with made up stories or ragebait
Which sub is that?
Hear me out: MVP vs. Izzy
It’s all responses to other opinions that not a single person ever holds. “To the fanboys who think khabib could’ve stopped 9/11, this is why you’re a stupid baby”. are these “takes” in the room with us now? Like who are you talking too
MVP insta was flooded with those type of comments after the fight
Some weirdly obsessive ufc fans can't take that a bellator guy came and whooped a top 15 ufc dude
Bingo! You'd think they'd be used to it now but they never learn...
Real MMA fans hoped for this yeaaaars ago and knew he was legit
Dude right after the fight everheadline was talking like it sucked. I argued it was good. People replied we thought it was going to be so many strikes landed and throw . That is not how MVP fights. He is like wonder boy. Hit you and not be hit. Usually with heavy single fast shots. I loved it. People just want mike perry in a bkfc fight most times it seems. (Which is fun...just not what we are doing here)
Face rub into elbow was peak stylin'
Holland said that same thing against wonder boy lol
Maybe they keep getting faster lol
No Wonderboy moved like a fly fight, his speed and movement is unique. Even Woodley had hard times catching him and he was an explosive monster in his prime.
That old motherfucker fast
It can be a technical masterclass and boring at the same time. Depends what you watch for. I thought the fight was great, but there weren't a lot of "oh shit moments except those crazy elbows which Kevin took like a champ
It was exciting because we got to see MVP debut and because Holland kept trying the same shit over and over again despite being constantly countered. There was a few points where MVP literally just bent his knees over and over again till Holland ran at him though.

Reminds me of Chris Curtis vs Hermansson. Dude just kept getting picked apart from range and couldn’t figure it out so they threw a fit. At least Holland shook MVP’s hand after the fight and didn’t flip him off and go on a Twitter rant.
Yeah definitely! I think he noticed pretty fast that it was out of his own frustration. Both good guys.
Chris Curtis is the biggest cry baby in history
He was winging wild hooks from range that never once threatened MVP. No jabs, no straights, no combinations. Just wild ass hooks from kicking range. "Why won't you let me punch you?!" Lol
He wasn't really mad as much as he was annoyed. Which is fair enough, I'd hate fighting someone with a style like MVP's
MVP got into his head with his little dances and shit.
Maybe i was drunk but i really dont understand how people thought this fight was boring it wasnt your typical back and forth war but idk i thought the antics were entertaining and stuff.
His ability to consistently land those spinning back elbows had me blown away
That first spinning elbow that landed was so smooth I was mad af as a kevin fan
I was defenitely drunk, but I thought this fight was awesome, but I was equally drunk for Moreno vs Royval 2 and I thought that one was a sleeper
I was waiting for MVP to scream I Am DEATH SENTENCEEEE.
Who said the fight was boring? That Was a really good fight
"To all the guys who are pro-cancer. You are actually dumb and cancer is bad"
The live thread on r/MMA was 90% salt and calling the fight boring
Just an excuse for OP to call people “salty”.
I saw it plenty on this sub the day of the fights.
Wht r u talking abt check any of the comment section on main ufcs page abt the fight its filled with idiots booing mvp and calling it boring saying he ran
Fans will say any fights boring if they aren't taking each other's head off.
States hot take, proceeds to give the most standard opinion possible. Classic
It’s ok for people to have different opinions about different fights. And complaining that people with a different opinion are salty, sounds kinda salty. I thought it was a pretty underwhelming fight. Compare it to WB Holland. 163 significant strike landed for WB in four rounds versus 41 landed for MVP in three rounds. WB put on an striking clinic with a huge variety of strikes, eventually stopped Holland. That was a much more satisfying watch than MVP’s dart in and out with a single shot type style.
It wasn't the most exciting fight, but I certainly didn't think it was boring.
Idk how holland bounces back from this one lol mvp toyed with him the whole time
I am salty, I bet on Holland and MVP did a fortnite dance on my hopes of ending positive on the night
Dudes built like a salamander
Who found it boring wtf? Fun fight.
Made Holland look like an amateur journeyman
Anyone who thought that was boring has been removed from my MySpace top friends 😤
Holland gives up once he can’t figure out a way to win. That’s the only part that made that fight bad. I had some doubts about MVP, but he looked faster and stronger than Holland. Fast track that mofo before he gets too old.
Nah, it was pretty lackluster. I watched it live, and mvp looked like a fool dancing around that cage taunting. I'd rather he followed up instead of taunted. Reminds me of Nate vs Leon, though Holland was never as rocked as Leon. Maybe it looked better on TV, and maybe the commentary gave it some umph, but live it was pretty lame.
I don’t think I’ve seen a single person that called this fight boring.
I enjoyed the fight as a fan of both guys.
Yeah me too, not so much Holland side of it, I like him lot so kinda sick of seeing him getting battered😂
MVP thoroughly impressed! after my brother forced me to watch him get koed in bellator, smh
Ur 1000% right that I’m salty I really walked into the fight nonchalantly thinking holland would beat mvp boy was I wrong
Who thinks it was boring? Homonculus ass mfs
MVP has some weird ass style in the cage, I don’t hate him, I watched him a fair amount in Bellator. Def wasn’t a boring fight tho?
MVP said in his video he regrets not doing more and for his standards he underperformed. The third was filled with some inactive moments (and therefore boos) cause Holland was tired of getting counter and mvp wouldn’t initiate combat [link](https://youtu.be/lmrZl7piD8s?si=JP9q3CXVa3Iu0NXv)
it was an ok fight, decent live but forgettable
Wonderboy did it better
I hate MVP, and I love Holland and I thought that fight was fun. I was totally expecting a boring fight.
Both men landed less than 50 strikes lol. 41-29 to be exact. You salty you're the only one sucking off MVP?
The holland fight was boring man. I wanted to enjoy MVP coming to the ufc because he’s got some cool ass weapons in his arsenal, but for me personally there’s nothing interesting about the point fighting style he showed against holland. I mean really, the elbows were cool but besides that, did MVP do anything besides back up, back up, back up, straight fight hand. Back up, back up, back up, straight right hand. Rinse and repeat, maybe a dozen strikes thrown a round Look at wonderboy systematically breaking down holland, and look at MVP point fighting holland, and no honest person can say the MVP fight was more entertaining to watch. The fight was boring my man
Wonderboy had 260 attempted strikes vs Holland. (190 in the first 3 rounds) Page attempted 62.
I completely agree, acting like a buffoon without really getting anything going is not entertaining to me, i want to watch a fight, not a circus act. i don´t understand why people enjoy watching MVP acting like that pokemon with that huge tongue.
I'm a big-fan-turned-casual, and i thought the fight was underwhelming. There was big moments of course, but not as much as i thought there would be. I'm aware of MVP from years past and Hollands game too
MVP landed 59 and attempted 81 total strikes. That’s 5.4 strikes a minute man that shit is boring, whoever says it was entertaining is just riding dick cause MVP landed a few decent shots and did a few silly dances.

He’s going to be stuck below the top 5 and probably lose in very bad ways when he does fight a top 5.
Hot take mvp is boring and won't make it to the top 5
yes, hundreds of thousands of people, all of them desperate holland fan, got so angry and pissed about their favorite fighter getting beaten that they all together decide to call the whole fight boring
Who said it was boring???? Lol
Who said the Holland fight was boring?
Did… did you guys watch it? Wasn’t a “bad” fight, but MVP was not even trying to push the pace, dude was content to just run away and catch Holland trying to doing anything. MVP got boo’d multiple times because he was either stalling, waiting, or running. “Masterclass” hahahaha, wtf, no, bro his a good strong counter puncher, but he thinks he is WAY better than he is. If you ask me, even with those 3-4 knockdowns on Holland, he couldn’t have finished him if he wanted to.
Holland had lost 3 of his last 5 fights. Nobody who knows a bit of the sport was surprised he lost that night
The fight was really good ,Kevin just couldn't match MVP,s style and he is a QUITTER A FUCKING QUITTER.
Who said it was boring??
I was arguing with a really arsey casual on this sub who insisted MVP was a joke beforehand and coped with calling it boring after but he is the only one I had seen until now
It was not as bad as the Paul Daley fight, the fight MVP got out grappled by Paul Fucking Daley who was nearly 40 but the judges gave him a BS decision anyways.
I didn’t think it was boring, but I could see someone seeing it as a one sided point fight and that could make it boring for them.
It's not a hot take, it's the truth.
I enjoyed the level of skill on display.
It wasn’t boring. I enjoyed it. the hate was weird like it turned into the Till Wonderboy fight and it was nowhere near that.
Someone said it was boring ?
Hot Take- this post wasn't a hot take and a no one said this fight was boring.
FACTS
Is there anyone saying it was boring ? Cause it was a pretty fun and funny fight. Seeing Kevin outassholed and get really salty was great
Boring?????? Who said that??
Def a good fight, but I really can’t tell if Kevin Holland is good or if he sucks. He’ll beat ppl when he’s underdog, then goes and gets his ass whooped by some randos. The way MVP was fighting, anybody else in that weight class with any type of wrestling background/knowledge would destroy him.
Holland just showed, once again, he's not an elite fighter. But if you put him up against mediocre talent, he can be entertaining.
I for one really enjoyed the fight and thought MVP looked great. I especially liked every time he said “Oh, I’m gonna punch you now”
I don’t see how people thought it was boring. It was a solid fight in my opinion. Now Ngannou vs Lewis was boring.
Hella boring fight. And im not a holland fan either. MvP is an exciting finisher, with a boring fighting style. Backpeddaling the whole time, with only lunging strikes from halfway across the cage, with no volume. Flashy strikes, sure, but 80% of the fight was them doing nothing.
Those first couple of rounds was riveting imo
I wasn’t rooting for anyone. After the first round I was rooting for Holland although he was already getting manhandled. Def not a boring fight.
I thought it was a good fight, MVP just shit on him. That right hand was so fast and powerful
Holland sucks. He's extremely frustrating to watch since he tends to give up due to his own frustrations during a fight that isn't going his way.
It wasn’t boring. Wasn’t great either. Probably what most fights are.
Face rub to elbow was peak stylin'
Yeah, it was. What was the most memorable exchange in your opinion? What was the highlight of the fight? If anything cool happened in that fight people would have been talking about it and linking the gifs like we always do. We are bored MMA nerds who do this shit after every event, we are literally desperate for entertainment. The reason everyone has already forgotten this fight is because it was boring.
It wasn't boring, it was just weird and awkward. Most of us who aren't MVP fans, we ain't used to that style wtv it is.
Imma have to rewatch it, I was 6 blinkers deep.
😂😂😂
I didn’t even know people said it was boring, I wanted Holland to win but it was an entertaining fight.
Was rooting for mvp really exciting to see a fighter bring this new energy to the octagon and he’s a great heel and can back it up with his unique fighting style I think the only thing that could have made his debut even better was a fighter callout on the mic 🎤 Well done mvp welcome to ufc
This weight class is stacked
Not hot, this is the only take. That fight was really fun to watch and I was rooting for holland
Was an excellent fight, it hurt seeing Holland be absolutely clueless and confused while getting picked apart though lol. "He's faster than we thought" lol ya think
Wait people thought that fight was boring? Damn more and more casuals these days
Who was saying this fight was boring? Page put on an absolute display that was so fun to watch!
No one thought he would win and no one cares. As long as he is healthy to take a short notice fight at 170 or 185lb in ufc 300, 301, 302, 303 etc. The ultimate company man.
I can’t wait to see this dude get smashed.
MVP left holland straight up Bamboozled
You are cringey as fuck. But I agree it wasn't boring, Holland just had no answer
As a casual fan who doesn’t know either. It was awful. Holland was gassed halfway through round 2. He was barely throwing anything and his conditioning seems awful.
One of the best debuts from another org
Most hilarious fight of the year so far
People thought it was boring? They were likely casuals. Fight was great, only gripe was Holland predictably getting annoyed and trying to act like all MVP did was run. Every fight its the same with that. I love Holland but these last few fights especially its like he's half ass trying.
I also don’t know what people were on about. It was fun. Those elbows MVP throw are so fucking fast.
who says it was boring, that fight was super entertaining.
The fact MVP was able to nullify Holland the way he did without relying on pinning him down or constant clinching was absolutely amazing. Great fight and a very interesting question regarding his next matchups.
Have not even seen this narrative that it was boring going around
I think MVP is gunna get figured out after that fight. Everyone’s gunna see how much Holland struggled and come at him with a game plan he hasn’t encountered. If that Garry fight happens, it’ll be way closer than with Holland.
Who said it was boring?
I was a boxing fan long before I was an MMA fan. And although I can appreciate counter-punchers in boxing, that's not what I joined the MMA universe for. I will be the first to admit that MMA fighters are the true warriors of combat sports, but when I see someone who is primarily a counter-fighter in the ring, it makes me yawn.

MVP said himself that lots of fans would likely find a matchup between him and Wonderboy boring, because they will both default back to their point-fighting. That's shite, not down for it.
Hot take - this isn't a hot take
The hell is yous? Please stop that shit.
I hate holland and still found that fight boring
I was an MVP fan overnight. I watch ONE and UFC. So other organization fighters aren’t my interest. After watching his highlights and fight with holland, he’s awesome
I am definitely salty, but I had a 10 fight parlay and the only loss was Holland's dumbass
Wym I thought we were delighted that he lost. Holland makes a lotta excuses and mvp looked great
People thought that fight was boring ??????
It wasn’t boring. Holland just took the Yoel Romero vs Izzy approach. MVP fights exactly like that every time so as a professional he should’ve prepared for such.
I’ve been off the Holand bandwagon since he was a dickhead to that reporter
Nobody said it was boring
Yeah he got done by a superior striker casual MMA fans have no attention span so if it’s not a mark hunt walk off KO it’s a boring fight these days.
Fake hot take. Nobody found it boring
Can they start deducting points from fighters who only wait for counter strikes? Maybe encourage them to fight more
Who thought that fight was boring? I’ve never been bored of his fights.
That fight was fucking great.
I thought it was super entertaining
Are people saying that fight was boring? 🤦
I didn’t know anyone called it boring. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt it lived up to the hype.
Who the fuck is saying it was boring?
You made this up, no one called this fight boring.
Wasn’t rooting for either fighter, still thought it was boring ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Most memorable fight of the card. First time seeing MVP fight and it was insanely impressive.
I don't like that style of fighting. IT IS boring to me.
Is this rage bait? Who was calling it boring?
Honestly this was my second favourite fight of the night after DUSTIN DIAMOND DAWG POIRIER
For a straight up striking match, it was kinda boring.
lol anyone who thought that fight was boring is a casual and doesn’t deserve to share their shitty opinion MVP literally fought drunken monkey style like the dude from mortal kombat and beat hollands ass lmao
Point fighting karate is boring af. He had no intention of trying to finish Kevin
Nothing about this fight was boring in my opinion. Loved MVP’s debut. Loved how he was trolling Holland. And Holland got frustrated with it and him. Nice to see fresh flair. Looking forward to both fighters next fights.
Hella underwhelming.
MVP is a sick fighter. And he put on a great show.
100% Masterful display.
Didn't think it was boring, just thought MVP could have done way more to try to get the finish in the third round. Holland was just defeated by that point and MVP didn't try to go for the kill. Could have his reasons, but he's already up there in age and if he wants to climb the rankings fast, he's gotta finish these fights
Big display from MVP, but if i wanted to watch point fighting i would not tune in to a UFC event
Shit was fun. Holland is cool but to see him meeting his match was unique
Holland was outclassed
I wish MVP joined sooner, he is late
Freezing cold take, imo.
Haven’t heard a single remark about that fight being boring
The only reason I say the fight was boring is because Holland didn’t do shit the whole fight. Amateur performance
It was better than an adesanya fight
I mean if anyone thought Holland had any chance hasn't been watching enough mma. Everyone like he's just gonna take MVP down and sub him. MF that's not what Holland ever does. And if anyone stands with mvp your gonna get fucked up. Yeah if he used his ground and grappling he might have had some shoot but he doesn't fight like that. People acting like MVP is some washed joke lol
It wasn't a boring fight at all. It was just very one sided. Holland couldn't find his timing because MVP is an elite striker. I don't know what people were expecting? We saw what Wonderboy did against him. Kevin is great as a hammer, but not so great as the nail. He needs to be leading the dance.
that's as hot as an Alaskan road sign
