The video brought out wholesome reactions from fans on the internet.
One user commended ‘Big Mouth’ on taking difficult fights on short notice.
Another individual said that the gift was an attempt by White to prevent Holland from retiring:
Holland recently uploaded a post on Instagram hinting at retiring from the sport of MMA. The post came after ‘Trailblazer’s’ loss to Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 279.
Holland was originally supposed to fight Daniel Rodriguez in a cathweight (180 pounds) bout at the event. However, due to ‘Borz’ missing weight, new matchups were made and Holland was eventually pitted against Chimaev.
The Chechen-born Swede made quick work of ‘Big Mouth’ and submitted him in the opening round of the fight.
Dana White comments on Kevin Holland possibly retiring from MMA
Dana White was recently asked for his thoughts on Kevin Holland’s cryptic post, hinting at retirement from MMA. White spoke about his relationship with Holland and said that the emotions may have gotten the better of ‘Big Mouth’.
White added that ‘Trailblazer’ should take some time to think before reaching a final decision as it is “too soon” for him to quit the sport:
