Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Kevin Holland may simply be angling for a struggle versus Welterweight hotshot Ian Garry.
“Trailblazer” only recently scored a giant struggle reserving reverse the debuting Michael “Venom” Web page at UFC 299 in March, it’s true, and Garry himself was simply rebooked reverse Geoff Neal for UFC 298 a month earlier. Nonetheless, Holland isn’t one to relaxation on the sidelines, which may clarify why he’s already speaking trash to a special top-ranked Welterweight striker.
The opposite rationalization, after all, is that everybody is dunking on Ian Garry proper now for his spouse’s outdated e book about changing into a Spouse And Girlfriend (WAG) of a well-known athlete. His pneumonia-induced withdraw from UFC 296 didn’t assist him both within the court docket of public opinion, which is trying a bit grim for “The Future” at the moment.
Whatever the reasoning, Holland simply gave Garry a dose of his personal drugs. Earlier this 12 months when he was booked to face Neal the primary time, Garry produced and bought a t-shirt that includes Geoff Neal’s mugshot on the entrance — a low blow to make certain. Holland has now imitated Garry, making a shirt with Garry’s personal face on the entrance and the easy caption “WAGGED.”
In a video on his Instagram (reposted above), Holland confirmed off a fast combo earlier than advising viewers, “Don’t get WAGGED!”
There’s yet one more potential backstory right here. Holland and Neal are each Dallas, Texas residents, and the 2 truly fought means again in 2017 previous to their UFC careers. Holland was victorious, and the 2 don’t prepare on the identical group, however maybe that is merely a case of “Lone Star” state camaraderie?
Backside line: Holland vs. Garry may very well be a severe banger a while in 2024 if the playing cards play out proper.
