In a recent episode on his YouTube channel, Sonnen called it \u201cthe worst fight Kevin Holland could have taken.\u201d This statement seems odd, particularly to those that have watched (or listened) to Kevin Holland over the course of his UFC run.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that Holland has trouble with wrestlers in the UFC. In his most recent appearance, \u201cTrailblazer\u201d was ragdolled by Khamzat Chimaev and submitted without landing a single strike. Prior to that, he suffered dominating losses to Derek Brunson and Marvin Vettori.<\/p>\n<p> [embedded content] <\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boundingintosports.com\/2022\/06\/ufc-star-kevin-holland-describes-visions-of-the-future-after-taking-psychedelic-mushrooms\/\">UFC Star Kevin Holland Describes Visions Of \u201cThe Future\u201d After Taking Psychedelic Mushrooms<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is absolutely no danger of Stephen Thompson doing that to him. Thompson is a striker through and through. In fact, he\u2019s faced similar problems to Holland in his last two bouts. He lost decisions to Belal Muhammad and Gilbert Burns, both of whom outclassed Thompson on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Sonnen argues that Thompson\u2019s reputation as a striker is actually bad for Holland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at what\u2019s on Kevin\u2019s shoulders, he\u2019s openly telling us I can\u2019t deal with wrestlers, now he\u2019s going to deal with a striker. If he can\u2019t be a striker then what do you do, what do you got left?,\u201d Sonnen said. \u201cNow it\u2019s not a matter of \u2018I\u2019m retired, I\u2019m stepping away.\u2019 You will be thrown out if you now can\u2019t beat the striker after you\u2019ve told us that you can\u2019t beat the wrestler. It\u2019s a really hard spot, I was surprised that he took the match. I really was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Chael Sonnen via Chael Sonnen YouTube <\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boundingintosports.com\/2022\/08\/watch-mma-fighter-takes-down-new-york-city-attacker-that-had-been-allegedly-assaulting-multiple-innocents\/\">MMA Fighter Takes Down New York City Attacker That Had Allegedly Assaulted Multiple Innocents<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sonnen\u2019s overall point boils down to this: if Holland cannot beat top level wrestlers or strikers in the UFC, then there is no place for him in the organization. While the sentiment is understandable, it seems a tad hyperbolic to say that Holland will be \u201cthrown out\u201d with a loss to Thompson. After all, Holland finished both of his fights at welterweight. On top of that, UFC boss Dana White has repeatedly said that he \u201cloves him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also no shame in losing to Stephen Thompson, who outclasses practically every striker he fights.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of Sonnen\u2019s comments?
