Holland & Wonderboy's Takedown Deal
Спорт
Kevin Holland and Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson are two of the more dynamic strikers in the UFC. But after losing recent bouts against grappling heavy fighters a main event between the two excited both Welterweights. Holland and Wonderboy both joked about not wrestling each other in the lead up towards their fight. But rarely do fans see fighters actually go through with promises about fighting with a particular style. For the most part both fighters ignored takedowns. That is until Holland injured his hand and was forced to attempt wrestling in order to give himself a chance to win. Ultimately, Thompson would win by TKO after the fourth round due to Holland's injury. #kevinholland #stephenthompson #shorts #ufc

Kevin going back on his no-wrestling pact to survive actually got me scared for him a little.

@stacymoore4785 *Yes.* Because the fact that he made that pact in the first place proves how stupid he is, so why would you expect him to do something even remotely smart afterwards?

@@mrshab it's not about being stupid. People have always game planned to take Wonderboy down. And how many of them do it and succeed? if it was so easy to do then he wouldn't even be in the top 10 they'd dog walk him on the ground. But "some how" we are here in 2023 thinking its just that easy. Come on man. Stephen doesn't even have to spar anymore cause that Karate flow doesn't go away! So it is safe to assume a lot of his time is training things he's not one of the best in the world in.
