Mad respect for Kevin Holland, who fought on after he appeared to be knocked out by a vicious clash of heads. Kyle Daukaus was smart to go all in for the finish/submission. NSAC just reviewed it, but the call stands. Wow.

Seems as though b/c Kevin Holland fought back shortly after being 'knocked out' by the headbutt, the Daukaus win will stand. Sean Shelby talking to officials. Madness at the Apex right now. Glad I'm home eating PB&J.

We are going back in time and rewinding clocks after a submission win to deem it a NC? LOL.
