Absolute striking clinic. Insane how he does it at 39 years old.
volkanovski is greater then aldo didnt aldo get ktfo by volkanovski leftover
He's a great striker even though he's 39 because he already mastered the fundamentals of karate and striking as a whole
he's not 39 bro
@@muscdance1843 yes he is 39
@@muscdance1843 he’s 40 in 2 months
That fight definitely took years off Holland’s career... Stephen Wonderboy looked amazing tonight 🙌 *Proving age is nothing but a number*
Pat Barry approves that last part!
@@Pareidolia09 LMAO
@@Pareidolia09 hahah
That last part can be a dangerous philosophy depending on who is using it.
@@frosty2.010 Rollo might be dangerous...
What a FIGHT!! Happy for Wonderboy, and respect for Holland. Both men are warriors!
silva got exposed by jake paul silva is useless trash no chin why wouldn't paul beat him in the promotion silva has no chin and quits
Wonderboy broke Holland in this fight, that's what you call an ass whipping, not what Khamzat did to Holland.
Holland stated before the fight QUOTE: "I'm gonna eat me some WHITE Wonder Bread"........yeah, he ate it alright. Got that ass THOROUGHLY WHOOPED.
@@michealortiz3350 Exactly.......thank you. Wonderboy broke his face, head, ribs, and hand, from trying to block all those devastating kicks, lol. And I don't give a damn what anyone says or thinks, because Wonderboy won every round.
@@michealortiz3350 yep. I think I could actually see in Hollandds eyes the moment his spirit broke.
Thompson's kicks were brutal, Hurt just watching them
holland is gonna be pissing blood tomorrow 🥵 savage body kicks
Imagine breaking your hand and then having one of the best stickers in the world absolutely smashing it with full force spinning back kicks. That hand might never be the same, but I hope he recovers completely. What a fight.
Yeah breaking his hand and then and the liver kicks towards the end landed flush. Imagine taking a clean liver kick from a karate master like him. Most guys would fold instantly, dunno how Kevin was able to keep standing lol.
@Beautiful Angel 999 LOL that shit cracked me up live and it cracks me up now XD
His punches were so underrated as well!
One of the most action packed fights of this year,UFC matchmakers did a perfect job with this one,wonderboy still having this speed at 39 is crazy and Holland has some granite chin on him.
Yes, and am I the only one who thought it was one sided for Thompson besides round 1?
@@alcottdevalte7440 Round 2 was competitive. It only started to become one-way traffic for Thompson from the 3rd round.
@@alcottdevalte7440 only after he broke Holland's hand in round 2 it became rather 1 sided
@@madgavin7568 Holland clearly had more power, but thought Thompson took him to school in every round. Holland just too reckless and head hunting with no gameplan...
@@alcottdevalte7440 that sorta is his gameplan, he isn;t in it for a title shot atm, hes a crazy entertaining fighter and thats how he rolls and thats why people love him

Man this is the most respectable UFC fight I ever seen! Respect to both of them!
It was a great fight.
wrong
@@muscdance1843why do ppl like you exist? How can you say wrong? You see, there’s one key word up there that makes it true FOR THEM. That word is "I"… So, just cause you’ve seen "more respectable fights" doesn’t mean they’ve seen them, or they disagree with you on YOUR OPINION… Wgisch is literally all this is about, it’s his opinion.. Jfc ppl like you are so fkn insufferable always trying to tell ppl they’re wrong on things that are subjective and things they’ve seen… Like get a fkn life bruh, is that all you do is go around telling ppl they’re wrong?
Can't stand the constant friendly crap, this is a fight!!! If Thompson had more killer instinct, he'd be champion.
@@muscdance1843 how is it wrong? this probably is the most respectable that HE has seen, that doesn't include what you or anyone else has seen. His opinion
Huge shoutout to Kevin's corner for immediately stopping the fight when he asked them to. Wish more corners and fighters would realize they are injured or there's no way of coming back.
Took the words right out of my mouth. I understand how much work coaches and corners put into fights, but you can’t ego lead someone to unnecessary, and potentially permanent damage.
PFFT!!! WTF YOU SERIOUS?! BAHAHAHA EVEN WORSE, HE FUCKING QUIT 😂😂😂😂😂 LOUD MOUTH FOR NOTHING.
Yeah, respect to his team and the man himself.
Well done, sir. Hear, hear.
Totally agree cause I saw no way Kevin had a chance to win in that 5th round. Wonder boy almost finished him in the 4th
Wonderboy looking as sharp as he ever did at nearly 40 years old. To fight with that style at his age at the top of the sport is remarkable.
Best striker in UFC history, up there with Silva if not better

@@JRF1004 Lol. Biggest hype job ever. Holland was a hype job too, who is not talented at all. He just got lucky a time or two..but has been proven to be not a good fighter, whatsoever. He is a can.

Every performance he has with strikers is amazing. The dude can move at a different level. 40 years old. Blows my mind.
Potential fight of the year contender. Amazing performance from both men 👏
Nah nobody beating Usman vs leon fight! So satisfying seeing usman head go up to the stars 🤣
@@atheist6997 embarrassing comment
@@atheist6997 We're talking about fight of the year, No one wants to see 3 rounds of Usman huggin and nipple suckin. That fight is more of a comeback of the year or KOTY.

@@atheist6997 🤦♂️🤡
Absolute striking clinic. Insane how it does it at 39 years old.
40 in 2 months
@Just Chill for a normal person, sure, but it’s very rare in pro sports for athletes to continue at the highest level of performance into their late 30’s, evens more rare for early 40’s. The average age of retirement among pro athletes is 32-33. There’s a reason you rarely see guys in their late 30’s to early 40’s winning championship belts, scoring titles, MVP awards, etc. The younger athletes are usually faster, stronger, have taken less damage and don’t have the same accumulation of injuries.
@@justchill5628 39 is old for sports, especially a welterweight like Thompson. You only really see Heavyweights continue their careers at 39+
So happy for Wonderboy to have such a performance at 39
Insane fight and the heart from both guys
This was perfect man. When this fight got announced I said this was gonna be the most respectful dog fight ever and I was right. The constant glove touches and hi fives whenever someone landed something big , laughing with each other . Mad respect to Kevin for not wanting to go to the ground. Both these guys have been calling for strikers and the only reason holland came out of retirement is because they offered him the purest striker in the ufc so I would've been pissed if he just tried to grapple him. Wonderboy looking better than ever and Jesus christ hollands durability is absolutely ridiculous, what a fight
i woudn't have minded that, but what I found funny was someone in the comments of a highlight post calling it a fun sparring session; some mf's are stupid
Holland was retired??
So much nonense in one post
39 year old Stephen Thompson showing that age isnt slowing him down💪 Respect to Holland for eating them kicks like an all you can eat buffet
silva is a journyman jake paul owns him and olivera is trash one of the weakest champ ever misses weight losses vacant title fight in a fight he avoided so long against machakev keep crying maybe stop being a clown and you wont be disappointed
It is said that the metabolism reduction in men occurs between 35-45 years.
@@Mike007_ I think he still has a chance to win the title if its Leon
@@Mike007_ correct, but good lifestyle can slow those processes down at least
Who is left for Wonderboy?
He has already clapped all the strikers - Holland, Masvidal, Geoff Neil, Luque
He has already been clapped by grapplers - “Remember the Decision” and Burns
Colby, Khamzat and Usman won’t fight him but if they did it would turn out similar to the Burns and Belal fights
Shavkat would fight him but would also wrestlefuck
Magny I could see happening tho
Absolute master class by Thompson.
One of the best fights in UFC history!!!
Let’s goooooooo
That was a fight for the history books
Not really, Wonderboy schooled him. It was a one-sided beatdown while listening to 3 grown men blow the guy losing...
@@michaelwhitewolf6988man u must be fun to be around
Just imagine Wonderboy vs Leon Edwards for the belt - No takedown allowed
That's a fight we don't even knew we needed badly , that would be a dream fight for me now
That's a dope fight.
Stephen can beat him.
Wonderboy beats him. Unfortunately there's too many crotch sniffers in the division
Title fight, no takedown allowed? Even Pereir vs Izzy had grappling be real cmon bruh.
lol Leon takes him down and chokes him lets be real
Wonderboy is such a legend in this sport man. Gotta love his humility and respectful wholesome nature despite the fact he can kick your head off in the blink of an eye.
Trailblazer, say what you want about him but he’s a true G that’s always down to scrap and put on a show for the fans.
This is the best fight that I've witnessed live. So grateful for these warriors , what heart , what spirit .
Why are people saying this? It was a one-sided beatdown while listening to 3 grown men blow the guy losing...
What other fights have you witnessed live? Because yes, Wonderboy did a great job, but it was a relatively one sided fight.
The striking displayed was the best that I have ever seen
Man the whole card delivered, it exceeded my expectations.
Almost tear’d up seeing wonder boy Thompson he deserves it especially with that preformenc
Still got it at his age
yeah khamzat submits him in 10 seconds

Absolutely incredible performance from both fighters! Kevin holland is alien, and wonder boy is a complete savage. Those kicks were a treat never seen anything like that ever in a MMA fight. We seen a true karate master in their tonight. Somebody give that man his flowers

Great technical karate by Wonderboy!
I hope Holland's hand heals for a 2023 rematch!!!

Nah leon vs usman is holding that spot! Especially seeing Usman head go up to the stars🤣
@@atheist6997you keep copying and pasting the same comments for interactions it’s really weird behavior lil bro
@@atheist6997 knock out of the year sure definitely not fight of the year lmao
Nah Kung Fu kev got outclassed and is unranked. Doesn't deserve a main event ever again
Was there at the event live, fight was amazing. The whole card was great
this truly is one of the best kickboxing fights I've ever seen in my entire life what an amazing fight truly 2 amazing martial artists. i loved how close this fight got Kevin was so close to finishing Stephen in that first round. what an amazing fight top 10 for sure.
At age 39, Wonderboy took Holland to the Wonderboy School of Karate. Kevin losing confidence round by round was sad though. But still, it takes two to tango! Great fight!
Hope Dana gives Wonderboy and Holland a bonus. Great fight from them both!
Who said wonderboys washed?? Best striker in the UFC
Adesanya*
No he is not. Also the best strikers could even make wrestlers struggle. Wrestlers handle him no problem.
@@arianlatifi5492 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So happy for wonderboy. Class act, dude represents the sport well. Kudos to the UFC match makers. Give wonderboy guys that dont want to wrestle and we'll see these performances! Unreal striking.
One of the best fight nights in history
Wonderboy knew if he lost his dad would tell everyone in their hometown he lost to a Kung fu guy
Man huge respect to both guys for putting on a banger like this! Top 3 fights of the year!
Props to Holland for hanging in there and allowing us to have another WB Christmas special🎄
2 great guys fighting. Heart goes out to Holland, but what a warrior for fighting Steven's style and making it competitive
For as great as he is, he’s also just as humble and respectful and that’s the reason why I love, respect, and will always support him!
I love how big T cleaned off a bit of blood from big mouth, great show of class and it trickles down into stephen, all 3 very admirable figures in mma
been craving for a fun fight?! this is the definition 👊👏💯
Dude has no haters. Props to him having enough gas tank at 39. Wishing him the best.
Gotta love both these guys
What an incredible display of striking by Thompson and true grit by Holland.
Man o man much respects to both fighters Wonder boy and Holland !
One of the best fights in ufc ! Maybe the fight of the year !
Holland has a heart ❤️ ! Congratulations 🎊 to wonder boy one of his best performances!!!!
What a show tonight !!! Thank you to all the fighters!
I really hope they do another podcast together reacting to their fight like DJ and CCC did.
Man, Wonderboy was great, wish to see him for years to come!
Legend! Wonderboy fights never disappoint.
Fight was nuts, his hook kicks are crazy!!
Holy smokes that was some highlight real striking…wow..👍🏽
Your awesome! Congrats enjoy your victory and your family. Godspeed!
i love thompson man, so humble and down to earth. Messaged him on instagram after a fight and he said thank you. Truly a hall of fame fighter and a class act of a man.

@@dammaguy1286 Yeah if you’re going off recently bias.
Glad to see him back in the winner circle against someone who has devastating power, Thompson said in his video on UA-cam that he desires to get the finisher mentality back
And he finished him.
@@dammaguy1286 a finish is a ko, not the other guy ff'ing because his hand was broken. this is like saying jan finished rakic even though if rakic was built like jan, that injury wouldnt have even happened. it's about how you're built more than anything.
@@themadman6667 If my body is so strong you break by hitting it, or I check the leg kick 🦵 and you get hurt, I still have a legitimate victory.
Love both these fighters
I love Wonderboy. He"s so honest and humble. Respect.
Bro holland has never took so many shots in his life… and somehow he still found a way to get up🤣
True, Holland is such an entertaining fighter.
Holland is the perfect opponent for Wonderboy. He's towering over Thompson so his kicks never miss. What a fun match. Best match I've seen for months
If three inches taller is considered towering.
Absolutely beautiful performance by both men but obviously more to Wonderboy. he is still so insanely good. his timing and speed are only getting better i feel like. I think he could give Leon legitimate problems, maybe even get a finish. the only thing he somewhat struggled with tonight was Holland’s reach. against someone similar to his size and who will agree to strike with him like edwards, my money is on wonderboy all day.
Such a gentleman too
One of the most exciting fights I’ve ever seen. Just a clinic all around!
Wonderboy is still sharp as a knife,no wonder why Leon didnt want any part of him.
I was so bummed out when the announcers pointed out the injury. The fight was so incredible, I really wanted it to go the distance. One of the greatest fights I've ever seen.
Was the injury caused by WB or did Holland have it before the fight?
@@kenzotenma6791 Holland broke the hand while blocking a headkick.
@@nSpiraliArchitectb Okay I see, thanks for the reply.
@@kenzotenma6791 It was either a blocked kick or the punch he rocked Thompson with during the mid point of round 1. It's crazy he made it to the end of the fourth round. Apparently 3 of his knuckles are broken.
@@beautifulangel9993 awesome, thanks for the timestamp.
Congratulations to wonderboy👏👏I too was born on 11 February like Stephen thompson n I'm so happy to see him get back to winning after losing two fights continously!! Hat's off to Kevin Holland too dude is so tough with great chin
What a legend
One of the best fights i ever seen
That was awesome. it was like a van damn movie. Kevin Holland did say on TV his wrist was fractured in the first round. But Wonder Boy put on a display of karate and he makes us Wonder is 39 that old
Lol, Karate
It was signature Shotokan Karate. TKD has more spins.
That's because Wonderboy fractured it.
NEVER give Wonderboy wrestlers again please
Do you want wonderboy to get a title shot? If so he’ll have to deal with wrestlers to get there
Absolutely Stephen Thompson wonder boy is wondered , wondering and wonderful boy 💪💪👍👍👋👋.
Fking legend this guy is man. 🎉 congrats on a win
Im convinced after this performance from Wonderboy that he is the best striker in the UFC he’s better than Izzy and Pereira
Edit He put on this performance at nearly 40 which just adds to how impressive it is
Wonderboy is 40 but he looks like he’s in his twenties
love this guy
oh man , i love this dude.there is only one wonderboy,MR.Thompson.greets from germania.what a fight....great performance HALL OF FAME WILL CAME.......thank you so much....
