In a dramatic turn of events at UFC 302, Kevin Holland showcased his resilience and grappling prowess with a brutal armbar finish. The fight took place in Newark, New Jersey, and left fans stunned by the sudden and gruesome conclusion.
Holland, known for his unorthodox fighting style and trash talk, found himself in a precarious situation early in the fight. Michal Oleksiejczuk, his opponent, floored Holland with a powerful left hand. But Holland quickly turned the tables.
As the fight hit the ground, Kevin Holland seized Oleksiejczuk’s right arm. With precision and determination, he applied a deep armbar. The moment was chilling: a loud pop echoed through the arena. Holland had either broken or dislocated Oleksiejczuk’s arm. Referee Herb Dean wasted no time and stepped in to end the bout just 94 seconds into the first round.

“Dude cracked me with a good shot and somehow we ended up on the ground. He left his arm out a little too far,” Holland said. “You know the saying, ‘Too out or too in.’ It was just like a regular class in jiu-jitsu. I tried not to go too hard until I realized he wouldn’t tap.”
Oleksiejczuk, refusing to tap out, endured the pain as Holland straightened the arm. The grimace on Oleksiejczuk’s face told the story—his limb was in serious trouble. Holland, still in the fight, smiled and conversed with Dean. The armbar had done its damage, and Oleksiejczuk’s arm hung at an unnatural angle.
