“That’s a real fight, that’s a real fight because Kevin Holland is f*cking dangerous. He’s got a lot of MMA experience, and he’s very good on the ground.”
Take a look at the video (Quotes from 2:44:02):
Joe Rogan went on to say that the UFC 299 match-up between Holland and Page would be an exciting fight because of the fighting style of both fighters.
Both ‘MVP’ and Holland are unpredictable strikers who use unconventional striking methods and are extremely talented. He went on to say how he was excited to see Page in the UFC.
Rogan gave Dan Soder a background of ‘MVP’s’ fighting style and showed him clips of his karate moves. It will be interesting to see if his Karate background will find success in the UFC.
