What just went down at UFC 318? Kevin Holland, long known for his consistency and crowd-pleasing style, was expected to shine, but Daniel Rodriguez had other plans. Defying the odds, ‘D-Rod’ rocked Holland and delivered a performance that turned heads. Outclassing the favorite, Rodriguez didn’t just win, he made a statement. In front of Dana White and the entire MMA world, he reminded everyone why he belongs on the big stage, seizing the spotlight and walking away with all eyes on him.
This fight was perhaps one of the first times fans witnessed Kevin Holland visibly in trouble on the feet. The second round had ‘D-Rod’ seriously hurt Holland and backing him up, and quite a few instances where ‘Trailblazer’ could have been finished. Luckily, he was able to survive, and even come back strong in the third round. Sadly for him, he was running on empty by the third and couldn’t do enough to secure the finish.
