a lot of people know the story of Kevin
Holland if you watched us last week on
ESPN plus he was supposed to lead off
the main card against Trevin Giles he
stayed in Las Vegas he’s ready to fight
and he’s always smiling what you might
not know is that Joaquin Buckley fought
last weekend in LFA got a second round
knockout win so he’s ready for fight
number two in the span of eight days and
he’ll be a big Underdog there in the
whites action right away Kevin Holland
takes him down
well look at Buckley explode
see man that gets in people’s heads the
way that Holland fights it’s it’s
intelligent
but he knows to watch out for that power
and that was a good job closing that
distance early
Holland in the black minus 450 is the
favorite Buckley swinging big
very elusive
it’s Kevin Holland
two different body styles here going at
it big right from Buckley sits down
hauling for a moment
sure there you go
back to the middle just think for
Buckley he’s got to try to relax into
this fight a little bit because UFC
debut against somebody that’s going to
talk smack ah there’s a little low all
right up there we go I got third third
one
okay keep those up some people at home
are coming at me with six between both
you guys Tom in fight appreciate
short one there
quick one two from Buckley oh man heavy
shots yeah and you’ll see him he’s in
close boom boom waving it out inside the
side he’s like you know the Southpaw
version of Tyson in there but it’ll mix
in kicks as well very well-rounded
that’s what he wants nice body work he’s
gotta watch the knees he’s throwing a
lot of combinations right now Brandon
he’s got to slow this pace down just a
little bit because so far Holland has
done a beautiful job of avoiding the big
shots
elbow from Holland and another one
Buckley’s got a little cut outside the
left eye there definitely from one of
those elbows there now here’s the thing
when you’re a knockout artist you throw
your best punches at somebody and
they’re just smiling at you and not even
breathing out of their mouth that’s
frustrating
and you can hear the breathing from
Buckley I mean and justifiably so he’s
throwing bombs in there and a lot of
them are connecting to the body he’s
done really good body work but when
you’re fighting somebody very long with
the frame of Holland you’ve got to be
careful on that clinch because as you’re
going to the body he’s just nicking
across with elbows
you mentioned the frame of Holland six
foot three the guy wakes up like the day
before he’s cutting wake at 187. yeah
comes tips the scales at 183 and a half
metabolism man he’s just
good man yeah you see there Buckley 14
shots of the body so far but
have they done anything yet
beautiful inside leg kick there
but Kevin Holland and he even admitted
it when we interviewed him for the show
last week but he tends to slow down but
he’s being smart here in this round that
might be something he learned that maybe
I just I get under the skin of my
opponent in the first round and let them
try to knock me out
this way he stays in those second third
rounds a lot stronger than he used to
but he’s got to watch the Power of
Buckley my God Buckley moves in looks
like connected from Holland I saw that
you want to talk
then he winds up look stop time are we
counting that one was it a low blow you
think so are you understand yeah I mean
they’re stopping that count should I
asked Colin
more
yes sir whatever you want me stay here
yeah that’s four that’s four I’m
counting that that reaction tells me
tells me it was here’s another look and
it was a punch oh man yeah that’s a
that’s a Tyson right hook to this
to the jewels
and he’s gonna trash talk right through
the break oh man you know it all right
I’m ready stop to talk right now all
right good keep it clean then the rep
Thomas is trying to do his best to be
like listening don’t don’t talk smack
right behave says wait till I say go and
then you can talk all you want
foreign
he’s got to set these shots up a little
bit he’s going a little too wild he
wants to knock out a little too bad and
you can tell Kevin Hollins all over that
counter right to the body as he did
below wow one punch down hook down goes
Buckley he’s on a single though
he’s recovering here he’s got to watch
his neck man a sneaky right cross from
Holland wow sat him down but he seemed
to wake back up as soon as he hit the
butt similar to Gavin Tucker earlier
tonight
sometimes it just shuts you off for a
second and as soon as you hit the mat
you’re like well all right yep I’m
fighting
that’s a better Buckley
let’s go guys fight
you see the difference in punching
Styles right big wind-up shots very
effective I’m not saying there’s
anything wrong with that one Buckley but
all Holland did was just snipe that
right hand straight down the middle and
hit the target
right yeah
Holland
through a hook
and this relaxed pace is going to help a
nice shot to the body there with that
front kick
see he’s got to set that up that big
left hand he’s got to set it up a little
bit with some touches sometimes it’s
better to just put things out for your
opponent to think about and then throw
the big shot oh another elbow Right Hook
from Buckley what was that off the bat
second round coming up
all right let’s see here just a laser
sharp right hand from Kevin Holland that
sits Buckley down but beautiful recovery
got on the single leg up right back up
to his feet we got a scrap still
Buckley weathered the storm through the
first five minutes
and Buckley does put everything into
these shots
how about a month to remember for
Buckley gets a second round knockout win
last week makes his UFC debut a week
later here tonight his girlfriend back
home at St Louis they’re expecting a
baby boy August 22nd
life-changing month
I always got to deal with Kevin Holland
gets him down for a moment fires a kick
physically strong
just throw him and then let it go
but Kevin Holland does such a good job
of riding those waves right he doesn’t
get overwhelmed in those positions he
flows with it oh just missed with that
left hand
nice Buckley you know is it for the
outlet that he’s putting out there he
still seems to be maintaining that pace
we’re only in the second round and we
just started but so far
a lot of guys would have really faded
with the volume that he’s thrown so far
no stranger to a knockout is Buckley his
last two wins were by knockout and seven
of his ten Pro victories invented by
heavy strikes
beautiful work there from Holland touch
it with the jab and then looking for
that right hand again Buckley working
the body in that first round Holland
going up top and down to the bottom but
these guys mixing it up
yeah Holland’s really looking for that
counter right as Buckley steps in oh
yeah his Corner likes that
he’s so long
like broken shins right there
luckily moves forward
heavy Blitz there Holland rides it out
still with a smile
and Buckley wrestled in high school
and you’re from St Louis you wrestle you
know about Tyron Woodley kind of saw
what he did after going from wrestling
to MMA got involved himself he just
can’t it’s all on the feet for Buckley
yeah he can’t seem to deal with the
length of of Holland he’s just missing
the target knocks his mouthpiece out
again with that right hand
come on
can I get him ready after the touch of
the gloves
big swinging to miss up top for Buckley
there you go there you go
he’s still throwing with power oh man
yeah I mean
he’s keeping a ridiculous pace
grab the fence yeah Holland does those
slaps to the ear when you get in close
on the fence now they return to the
center yeah I mean not all short notice
fights are the same I mean short notice
to give him the UFC but he fought last
week so yeah so it’s not like he went
and got out of shape in a week he
expects to be in good condition
and showing that here
all in kind of staying patient here as
Buckley the aggressor once again with 90
seconds left in round two yeah Holland
still talking that trash
but backing it up as well beautiful
counters good front kicks to the body oh
sort of landed that lead elbow as well
these guys are just colliding it sounds
like a pretty car crash in there
sometimes
now the inside leg kicks significant
strikes look like that Kevin Hall with
the advantage in round two
step in elbow and then he
was a right hook
I think a lot of people get caught up in
in Kevin Hollins antiques right kind of
dismiss his skills I mean this guy is
skilled
and he’s tough adorable
as long as he keeps working on that gas
tank and so far we’re at the end of
round two and he’s just keeping the same
Pace he’s being methodical for his
talking trash getting in his opponent’s
head getting them to want to knock him
out over swinging and capitalizing on it
since that debut against Thiago Santos
back in the summer of 2018 won four of
his last five his biggest performance
coming in Jacksonville you got to knock
out in 39 seconds
but tonight he’ll go into the third
round here and it comes your way next
stop
all right guys third round fight’s on
this one’s fight I’m a fight Joaquin
Buckley doesn’t want to touch gloves
I mean they did high five at the end of
the second round yeah no they did it’s
all love I really think it’s just this
is how Kevin Holland fights this is what
keeps him motivated he was saying in the
one round that you know I know how this
feels I’ve been here my first UFC fight
it’ll be okay
he’s mentoring him in there Brendan
trying to stick and move as Kevin
Holland ready to go
you’re already gone but with a man like
Buckley yeah the way he punches oh
Holland sits him down and Mark Smith is
going to call it one and done on The
Knockout for the Trailblazer man that is
what he has been doing all night he’s
been waiting finding his moment and
capitalizing on the counter especially
against somebody as aggressive as
Buckley he finds his moments when he’s
throwing those big punches and it’s the
counter attack again and ultimately ends
this fight from Kevin Holland wow this
boy wanted to fight last week let’s take
a look at his knockout right here
there it is that right hand he doesn’t
overhand it he doesn’t swing it it’s
straight from the arm straight down the
middle down the pipe right on the jaw of
his opponent
and he doesn’t even need let’s take a
listen as well
and look at Smith
man
beautiful call from the ref
man they’re getting me
wow I like that pose somebody somebody
freeze that one yeah I mean the result
speaks for itself but again
Tyler’s money uh Mark Smith though
looking at the eye stepping in no extra
punishment that was perfect that was a a
great moment from a referee that sees
their because he was still moving right
you could be like oh well he’s still
fighting but he saw what was going on
upstairs and he wasn’t
second knockout of 2020 for Kevin
Holland to make it official Joe Martina
ladies and gentlemen the incomes
officially 32 seconds round number three
referee Mark Smith puts a halt to the
about for your winner by TKO Kevin Trail
