Give MVP Wonderboy. Instant Classic.
true but if you wanna test em the most, Burns
Itd be a snoozefest apart from a couple of rushes. Would be similar to Izzy v Romero except with a lot more jumping around in the same spot
MVP absolutely murders Wonderboy lmao
I think they are too close of friends for that to happen and has a lot of potential to be boring. Them having the same style leads to too much respect
Don't think they would fight. They did a video together and seems like they're good friends now
Wonder Boy is ranked 8th. So he should be next.
Yessir
They won’t ever fight, they’re friends.
@@worlds_greatest_detective6667 they will fight they’re martial artists goofy
@@ozzee5094There are numerous cases of fighters not fighting their friends... It's not that unrealistic. Usman/Izzy, Merab/Aljo, DC/Cain
But they are prize fighters and the match would sell.
I think and hope so.
MVP vs Edwards could be a super fight if he keeps winning. Still think he’s like 7 years late to the UFC tho
Imagine him vs Anderson Silva
Wonderboy vs MVP is the fight to make
that could sell out a stadium
Unless the feed him to shavkat
👍🏾😢
Holland was no easy task! Kudos to MVP well done 👏🏽
MVP looked like he always belonged in the UFC tonight
Because he did.
I hope his wrestling/bjj improved. He got outwrestled by Paul Daley of all people
MVP with a really impressive UFC debut 👏
I'm not impressed by this guy. This was a lacklustre debut. The UFC want to make as much money off of him so they gave him the win. MVP doesn't beat Shavkat, Belal, Brady, Colby, Durinho and he definitely ain't beating Leon.
@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns are you actually trying to insinuate holland got robbed?
@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9nsbro dont be bu__hurt. He was and is pretty entertaining
Yeah, really great................sure.
Been a fan for 12 years now, and have always wanted him to get his shot in the UFC. At his age it’s not really about the belt. I’m just happy to see him here, collecting some cash and getting some wins
Still has plenty of time for exciting fights and to put his name in the UFC history books.
MVP coming to ufc kinda feels like when sting finally came to wwe, it’s been a long time coming.
Michael is a sweet guy outside of the ring/octagon
BEST SMILE IN THE UFC!
facts im about to get a new grill cause of him
Charles McGregor and MVP should start the pearly white gang.
Love MVP and Holland. I was laughing out loud when I realised how annoying it must be to fight MVP 😂
You won many fans tonight mike 👍
I enjoyed sparring with him 😂 first fight/sparring he already telling all
Impressive debut. Truly happy for MVP. Very exciting addition to the roster. So surreal seeing him do that in the UFC. 💯
Congrats and welcome to the UFC
Man been waiting for this guy.
I love that he always smile. This guy is just living in the moment every time.
Awesome fighter
What a great interview this guy is....
That was a sick fight, mad mad respect to michael venom page gor sticking to his guns, not changing his style. Its so epic to see this guy, play this in and out game, its like playing with fire, but its so good to see when its succesful. That was a dope fight last night
This man is so awesome so glad he is in the ufc now and he did not disappoint last night at all!! Great fight mvp loved the walk out too man
The Diamond is shining tonight though
Dustin consistently delivers!
MVP is what Izzy imagined he is or fights like
Izzy really living rent free in your head
Izzy is a 2 time UFC champ what are you talking about
Lmao
You didn't watch enough Izzy kickboxing.
Israel in the UFC is literally him with a safer fighting style and he's been a 2 Time champion.
Izzy is my least favorite fighter but bro chill . Kevin sucks
@@YouareAToy582 stylisticaly
MVP 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Great guy
Think too old for a title run, but he’s about to beat up pretty much any striker in WW.
Leon Beats him up. Della beats him up as well.
Della might get smoked lol. Leon wins for sure tho
Well, history shows that guys entering the UFC late are fast tracked to the title... such as guys like Poatan and Chandler.
@@ItachiUchiha-ge6emdella barely beat up Kevin Holland…
He’s 36 & he’s about two fights away from a title shot…… Enough with the ageism
Why has it taken the UFC this long to get him here! 37 is this more
He was payed so well by Bellator thats he had no reason to go to the UFC .
Loved the fight 💯🔥
So glad MVP is in the mix..the guy is underrated asf...people that hate just don't understand what he's doing..styles make fights..
MVP fantastic
MVP is such an awesome dude. Glad he’s in the UFC.
MVP is the most exciting mma fighter period
The footwork and level of movement was making Holland hella frustrated. But it makes for a really entertaining, fan-friendly style.
MVP vs Wonderboy or Geoff Neal. Main Event of a Fight Night with a CROWD. Do it in the UK, that'd be massive.
Whats name of the song of MVP walkout??
MVP needs Burns or Geoff Neal.
Such a beast on the feet.
Wonderboy is the only fight to make
@@ONLYALEXISOMARHe don’t grapple lol
That’s the point…
Don't feed him a wrestler you d*#* 😅
@@ONLYALEXISOMAR
Wonderboy has said he WILL NOT fight MVP. While MVP says he doesn’t mind.
1:01 Freudian slip.
He "enjoyed sparring" with Kevin Holland.
That is what the fight looked like, Kevin trying to lay-and-pray or wall-and-stall his way to a judges' decision.
You know you are an elite striker when other strikers' game plans to grapple you.
LOL
Kevin Holland is a grappler
@@cheoiswater
"Kevin Holland is a grappler"
--- I wouldn't say that.
Khabib is a grappler because EVERYTHING Khabib does is to get the opponent to the ground.
--- I don't think Kevin Holland has that "I need to get the fight to the ground" mentality, so I wouldn't call him a grappler.
@@cheoiswatera panic grappler anyway 😅
@@cheoiswaterKevin only grapples when he’s out of his depth
@@francmittelo6731 fair enough. He just doesn't have the wrestling ability
I think it was just the subconscious nerves of his debut with the UFC on such a large scale. I'm sure in his next fight of 2 he'll be at full capacity.
With so many strong grapplers in the division it might be a hard shot to the top of the division. He's got guys like Burns, Colby, Belal, Shavkat etc ahead of the him and he can't avoid them all. There's some exciting match ups with strikers in his division ahead of him as well though. Let's see what the match makers do.
It goes to show you that the UFC is a different breed. MVP was knocking out dudes left and right and break skulls and bones alond the way at bellator but you could see here this wasn't an easy win and this isn't even a top 10 ranked fighter at welterweight. Congrat to mvp and welcome to the UFC.
for everyone saying MVP VS wonderboy.. they are friends they made a video together just last year.. I don't think it's going to happen
He fights like a black version of wonderboy lol
They are friends and won't fight go watch Submission Radios interview of Wonderboy if you need proof
MVP vs Thompson and than vs Edward’s
I don’t even remotely wanna see it or say this but sadly at some point we’ll have to let belal get his chance lmao bro been in line some time
They are friends and won't fight go watch Submission Radios interview of Wonderboy if you need proof
Still a good fight
The man was smoooooth
I think Ric Flair vs MVP could be legendary
He looked lightning fast.
Gentleman
MVP just proved that he is the greatest striker ever in mma. Better than Anderson Silva, Izzy, and Poatan. He is THAT good. I feel so honored and lucky to witness his talent. He plays the game like he's in the matrix. Unbridled creativity and art in it's purest form. The artist has just created a masterpiece. Take a bow, king. Take a bow.
How’s his D taste?
…..What💀
@@alancervantes126MVP! MVP! MVP!
@@sandman62100 stop sucking
wonderboy is better
MVP 🕺🔔🤸
this guy has gotten unnecessary hate from all those ufc sheep! it's mainly cause of kevin holland's iron chin that mvp didn't get the knockout victory
Hope he and Rocky both win their next 1 or 2 so they can fight eachother. Rocky won’t be going for the take down
Him vs michel pereira would be fun if michel could still make 170 if not neal or wonder boy if he gets passed either then ian gary
Bro Pereira looked 225 last night. I know they said he weighed in at 186 but he hat size differential, post fight as they raised his hand, was ridiculous
Glad mvp took out holland
MVP vs Edwards
Was someone there going to show the same UFC level to MVP that he is not a level😂? And then Michael Page from Bellator came in and took Holland out of the gates👊💥💯.
Kevin said B level fighter...😂😂😂
Wat that make kevin now??? 🤦🏿♂️
Ian Garry or Sean Brady next? Those are 2 good ones but if they can BOOST him up to Belal Muhammad that would be AMAZING. If he could get Belal next, he would literally need 1 more fight then Title fight that quick. But if he can take out one guy top 10 then 2 guys in the top 5 that would get him a title shot.
Very fun fight! Sick fighter! Mvp vs wonderboy lets gooo
lets gooo
They are friends and won't fight go watch Submission Radios interview of Wonderboy if you need proof
Bellator top fighters can hang with ufc top fighters
The greatest MMA fighter of all time, the greatest fighter to ever live. There can only be one Michael VENOM page
colby vs mvp worthy co-main
i want to see this guy vs wonderboy
He had good ground defense vs Kevin but how is he going to do against grapplers.
Sad Mvp didn come to the ufc at least five yearsaerlier im quite sure he woud have been a champ i v been following since he got in to bellator coming from tkd
Hot take they should now release Kevin holland
Mike that hesitation was self preservation, he wasn't that hurt and you could have been embarrassingly ko'd sir!
Give him Shevka next!
Nope.
Jack called him out
👍
Lot of losers in the comments saying he’s come too late to the UFC…with your mindset he would retire (and this doesn’t apply to people like Ferguson who is about 2 years older than MVP but actually needs to retire).
Give him Jack Della ,
Mvp will be the next champion
please don't match against wrestlers. he's so fun to watch in a stand up fight. he's like a more explosive wonderboy.

“Sparring” is exactly what they did lol
wonderboy or colby or could be burns
MVP VS USMAN
nobody caught on "I enjoyed sparring oops sharing cage with him"
he said *sparring 🤦🏽♂️
Poor Kevin really had no clue what to do there
To us it was a UFC match but to MVP it was just 1:02
Must be a nightmare to préparé for him. Who Else fights like that.
5 years late in UFC though
❤️🔥💥🥇🥊🙏✝️GOD BLESS ✝️🙏🥷🦾👏
Wonderboy vs MVP
That would be boring. Anyway, Wonderboy said he won't fight him.
Kevin Holland has one of the best chins in mma that's the only reason mvp didn't finish him
The ufc is mostly grappling ground and pound, boxing, 2% muay thai kicks & 20% jujitsu. 85% real mma 😊 with the addition of "MVP" goes up 5% & more each time he busses heads in nephew Dana's "brand". 😊 Donald is his Uncle 😂
After poirer got 4 guillotines slipped and venom saying everyone is slippery …are there rules on oil for gamesmanship on body or is it all fair and they just act like its sweat?
MVP “the can crusher” crushed Holland
GIVE HIM IZZY
Mvp vs wonderboy is the fight to make
They are friends and won't fight go watch Submission Radios interview of Wonderboy if you need proof
MVP vs Chimiev next!
The crazy thing is he didn’t even look as good physically as he usually is
what u mean? he said he was off tonight
@@AIAudiobooks411 He looked more sluggish than usual
@@burritobandit45 i think he needs to fight at 185 sooner than later
MVP Vs Wonderboy next 👀
They are friends and won't fight go watch Submission Radios interview of Wonderboy if you need proof
Everyone keep saying Wonderboy but MVP vs Burns, if he wins, give him Leon!!! 😂😂😂😂🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ 22-2, 1-0 in UFC jump on the 🤩⭐️ power now Dana !!!

Myself and everybody wants MVP vs Wonderboy but according to journalist James Lynch, Wonderboy said he won't fight him. 😕

@@drakeshotplays yeah, I read the same thing. Obviously I respect that from Wonderboy but man we miss out on a sick fight.
MVP is good but SHAVKHAT finishes him in 2
Why doesnt he walk out with the uk flag
He is Jamaican as well so maybe thats why but who knows lmao
Machismo
How is Megan so tall lol
Why is that funny
heels
she's standing on a box most likely
Megan is my girlfriend
Geeze this chick is so loud
