Kevin Holland is making a surprise return to the UFC this Saturday to face Daniel Rodriguez at UFC 279. Holland has indicated interest in fighting Chimaev and Nate Diaz, the top two names on the pay-per-view card.
Holland has no ill will toward either of them, but he will not hold back from being honest about how he thinks about Chimaev in particular.
“I feel like he likes the f—ing media,” said Holland.
“I feel like he only does this extra wannabe street sh*t when the media is around. Other than that, he doesn’t do it. I mean, when you guys aren’t around he wants to do fist bumps and he wants to be your best friend. When you guys are around, then all of a sudden he’s like, ‘Ahh, I’ll rip your f—ing head off.’
“You ain’t ripping s—t off, dog,” continued Holland. “Let’s be real. He wants a paycheck, just like the rest of these guys around here.”
In the past, Holland and Chimaev had their own altercation. The Chechen confronted Holland at the fighter hotel before UFC Vegas 11 in late 2020 about Holland’s claims about his terrifying experience with COVID-19.
The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is the site of UFC 279. The event will air live on Saturday, September 10.
