Holland is bjj black belt. If this was anything close to bjj, he should've been able to handle Chimaev's blue belt. So I guess it was all wrestling after all.
If you wanna be anal you could say the inside penetration step improv into outside sweep and roll / cartwheeling / floating is all wrestling and the darce choke bjj
Holland is a black belt.. his scrambles were great. They really were.. BUT Khamzat's wrestling is so next level. It's very fun and entertaining to watch
Khamzat was 7lbs over the weight limit here. But idk if that makes much of a difference. Being at least 15% heavier than the opponent is what would probably make a difference in a fight. But still Khamzat is damn good. All the Eastern European guys are beasts. They could be 90-400lbs and you would still see the same results.
Sometimes it takes a slow-mo replay for me to realize just how supremely skilled these people are. Like, the ability to transition and read your opponent like that with all the physical pressure of trying to play offense and defense is just unreal. Both these fighters’s ability is just amazing.

Most people lose the grip when you roll so the fact he didn't lose the hold twice and capitalized/made the adjustment on the third time he made that same move is just admirable. Respect to both guys but one guy was clearly more experienced in wrestling
Wow, that’s the first time I’ve seen a slow mo breakdown of this. So impressive, that’s high speed mental and physical reaction. The ability to adapt and control at a high level like this is insane.
Not a dick move at all when u realise the sh*t talks they had and they already touched gloves before the fight started and Khamzat is a guy who always starts the fight with a fire on him blame your Holland for a bum move😂
I've always thought thus was actually incredible take down defense for Holland. Chimaev is just good af. Would b crazy to see him get a title shot with izzy and get Ko like omalley did to sterling
Some excellent situational awareness and split hair responses from both fighters honestly. It was a short fight but was a very fun one to watch. Excited to see more from khamzat

My brother, this is your opinion and we respect it. Please watch Holland's fight with Buckley. Kevin raised his hands at the beginning and did not intend to touch the gloves.
oh stop it, Khamzat and him touched gloves already when the ref told them to, then as soon as the fight began, Khamzat did his feint high to takedown as he always does in most of his fights, Kevin sticking his hand up high was his own fault, he wasn't trying to go for a glove touch when him and Khamzat already had beef backstage, u guys made up a narrative to cope.
I love the breakdown, it makes you realize a lot of people in comment sections don't realize the technical skill that is being used, and just think hes going wild.
These breakdowns are beautiful, they really show the split second decisions and movements these athletes make, the patterns they pick up, the traps they set, it's so interesting
@kanethesevenfootmonster868 ah, didn't know we had a weight expert here, your the only person I've heard who can guess a figthers weight by frame, not even coaches can reliably do that.
Khamzat is such an aggressively adaptable and preceptive fighter that it doesn't matter how good the opponent is. He can process and adapt to the situation on the fly, plus he's got serious strength.
I could watch this a thousand times with my untrained eye and still think that was a lucky end to a drunk-esque brawl. Appreciate the breakdown, skilled fighters they are
