This being Holland’s debut fight and that too on a two week short notice, he did enough to match up with the much experienced and heavy hitter Santos. Holland was confident as he claimed this is a perfect match up for him to pick up the first win inside the octagon. But but he underestimated Santos who overwhelmed him in first and third round. Santos took him down with ease but despite his heavy ground and pound could not finish Holland who was intelligently defending from his back. As Holland got back up he was still trying to get back in the game but Santos landed some heavy body shots as he started to pick him apart. Holland definitely has skills, but he needs to get serious and not take his opponents lightly like he did today.
