NEWARK, N.J. – Kevin Holland had one of the nastiest submission finishes of recent memory.
The fan-favorite UFC fighter defeated Michal Oleksiejczuk by technical submission on the main card of Saturday’s UFC 302. Oleksiejczuk (19-8 MMA, 7-6 UFC) refused to tap to an armbar and Holland (26-11 MMA, 13-8 UFC) had no choice, but to take it a step further. Although not confirmed, it did look like Oleksiejczuk’s arm broke, which is why the referee stopped the fight.
Holland knew Oleksiejczuk wasn’t going to tap and had to finish the armbar.
