UFC 316 star Kevin Holland rushed out of the Mediadag this afternoon after being asked about his bitter rivalry with Rampage Jackson.
The couple is in Loggerheads after a disastrous appearance of Holland on the Jaxxon podcast of the former light-heavyweight champion earlier this year. After an intense back and forth, the Welterweight Competier insisted that he would like to fight his older one despite their considerable size.
At the time, Holland was in the camp for a fight with Reinier de Ridder on UFC 311, which he eventually lost through the entry. However, he quickly returned to UFC London when he defeated Gunnar Nelson in a comeback fight back at £ 170.

During his media rounds this afternoon, Kevin Holland was asked about his performances on the Jaxxon Podcast of Rampage Jackson. He first claimed that he is still waiting for payment for his appearance, before he finally took out a reporter who asked about the status of their relationship.
Holland is a beloved garbage collector in the UFC Welterweight Division, but stopped giving interviews after the controversial appearance. “Since the interview with Jaxxon Podcast I really don't do anything about it – they killed it for everyone.

“Speaking of that, they still owe me a few big and they always do bad work to pay me on the first of the month. They usually pay around the tenth, I don't know if they have a money problem, but they have to do better with that.”
He was then asked about his relationship with Jackson, who caused a big commotion. “My current relationship with Rampage Jackson?” He answered, apparently stunned by the question. “Bro, Rampage Jackson's is currently not in the UFC, right?
Holland eventually remained to pose for photos, but seemed to be dissatisfied with the question of a member of the press package.
Kevin Holland and Rampage Jackson had heated podcast -showdown
Holland appeared on the Jaxxon Podcast in January, just a few days before his fight in California against Reinier de Ridder. Things were heated, with a fight that almost broke out between Rampage Jackson and the UFC star.
The trash discussed the idea of ​​an unrealistic match with the former UFC world champion, which stated Rampage: “That is the last thing he wants to do is fight against me.” Holland replied: “I still want it. I don't give it away- about the fight on Saturday.”
The 46-year-old then said on a star exit: “I'm really with your young goat, you don't want to fight me.” Holland shot back: “That sounds good”, before Rampage concluded: “Sometimes people don't know what they want. You don't want to fight me.”
