Kevin Holland responds to Jacobe Smith’s callouts: ‘What the f*ck is the guy worried about me for?’

Kevin Holland has addressed ongoing callouts from fellow UFC fighter Jacobe Smith, questioning why Smith remains fixated on fighting him. The two were previously scheduled to meet at UFC Oklahoma City before Holland withdrew due to an injury. Despite Smith continuing his pursuit following recent victories, Holland dismissed the matchup on social media, claiming he is not a champion holding up the division.

Holland is currently scheduled to face No. 12-ranked welterweight Uros Medic at UFC 334 in New York City. Holland indicated he has no interest in scheduling a fight against Smith afterward, comparing his stance to Jon Jones avoiding Tom Aspinall and stating he plans to ignore the challenge.
