Khamzat Chimaev needed less than three minutes to submit Kevin Holland after being pulled from his fight with Nate Diaz at UFC 279.
Chimaev was originally scheduled to face Diaz in the main event of UFC 279, but the fight was scrapped after the Chechen missed weight by 7.5lb. Diaz refused to accept a catchweight bout with Chimaev and was instead booked to fight Tony Ferguson in the main event, whilst Kevin Holland was pulled from his fight with Daniel Rodriguez to face Chimaev.
As the fight got underway, Chimaev wasted no time in taking Holland down but the American managed to scramble his way back to his feet. The Chechen showed a relentless pace and attempted to secure a d'arce choke and after Holland tried his best to escape, he was forced to tap. "What now? Say something, this is Chechnya motherf*******. I'm coming for everyone, I kill everybody," he said.
