Pros react after Kevin Holland submits Tim Means at UFC Austin

Tonight’s UFC Austin event was co-headlined by a welterweight contest between Tim Means and Kevin Holland.

Means (32-13-1 MMA) will enter the contest on a three-fight winning streak, his latest being a decision victory over Nicolas Dalby. Prior to that, ‘The Dirty Bird’ had outpointed Mike Perry at UFC 255.

Meanwhile, Kevin Holland (23-7 MMA) most recently competed at UFC 272, where he scored a TKO victory over Alex Oliveira. That win snapped a two-fight losing skid for ‘Trailblazer’.

Tonight’s UFC Austin co-main event resulted in a second round submission victory for ‘Big Mouth’. Holland was able to land some heavy counter punches and hard kicks in the opening five minutes before ultimately sinking in a fight-ending d’arce choke in round two (see that here).
