The Irish superstar Conor McGregor has struck again, this time taking aim at Kevin Holland. The Irishman’s sharp tongue found a new target after UFC 307’s middleweight bout. The UFC veteran faced Georgian Roman Dolidze in what was promised to be an exciting matchup. However, the fight ended abruptly, leaving fans and McGregor less than thrilled.
Holland’s night took a turn for the worse in the opening round. Dolidze managed to take him down and unleash some ground-and-pound. As the round ended, Holland signaled to his corner that he might have broken a rib. Holland’s team made a tough call and threw in the towel. But Conor McGregor, never one to hold back his opinions, chimed in.
”Didn’t even f*cking try? Nah that is ridiculous! Go out again and see how it is. If folds up again then you end it with the towel. Nah that’s not it for me folks. Holland is a solid veteran he well should have went out and gave it a shot to see how he was. Wrong move.” wrote McGregor in a now-deleted tweet.
The former two-division champion questioned Holland’s toughness and decision-making in no uncertain terms. He suggested Holland should have at least attempted the second round. Now, let’s take a moment to appreciate the irony. Conor McGregor critiqued someone else’s fight decisions. That is rich coming from the guy who recently pulled out a fight with a broken Pinky Toe!
It’s worth noting that Conor McGregor hasn’t exactly been active in the Octagon lately. His last fight was a leg-breaking loss to Dustin Poirier in 2021. Holland, for his part, has remained silent on McGregor’s comments. He is probably too busy dealing with an actual injury.
