“Final evening we have been on the XKO fights having an excellent time, having fun with ourselves, and we’re on our method out,” Holland defined in a since-deleted Instagram video. “In fact, I see ‘Ugly Man’ Joe — not going to disclaim that. He was strolling up the steps, I used to be strolling down the steps. He didn’t need to stroll on the opposite facet of the steps the place the man he was beefing was, so he walked on my facet of the steps, like I used to be going to maneuver.
“I used to be like, bro, ‘sit back.’ As quickly as I put my hand as much as say sit back, he grabbed me. As quickly as he grabbed me, we form of nearly went flying down the steps. Fast reactions, neither one among us fell over.
“By the point I’m going to repair my coat, I don’t know what occurred. I don’t bear in mind any of the stuff he talks about. All I bear in mind is him getting right into a combat and me breaking it up. Sounds good. That’s the a part of the story that sticks. All the opposite stuff is drama that you’ve got, and that’s between you and one other man. Don’t use my title for clout, don’t put me in your bs,” Holland added.
Holland wasn’t carried out but, providing Holmes $20,000 to spar as a result of UFC possible gained’t match them up.
“If you wish to combat with me, we bought gyms,” Holland stated. “You stated to inform the UFC to ship a contract. I doubt the UFC will ship you a contract. If you wish to spar, you’ll be able to spar me at my fitness center. My little brother hit you up on-line. He’s a minor. You shared him in your web page, calling him a clown. So, after all, I’m going to tag you in stuff like that, saying if you wish to come to my fitness center and spar for $20,000. I’ll offer you an opportunity to spar for $20,000. Right here I’m providing you $20,000 to spar with me.”
