While Holland immediately expressed his disappointment with the
decision, many fans have accused “Trailblazer” of a lackluster
showing.
Holland was coming off consecutive stoppage wins over Santiago
Ponzinibbio and Michael
Chiesa going into his Noche UFC clash against Maddalena.
Holland has now issued a callout to welterweight veteran Neil Magny,
who is ranked right above him. “Trailblazer,”who has made clear
that title contention isn’t his immediate goal, proposed an unusual
“loser cuts hair” matchup against Magny on his Instagram
Stories.
“Props to [Jack], good guard. I’d like to go watch it back! I see
y’all talking about poor performance. I really honestly thought I
outworked dude but [what the hell] do I know? [For] those that ride
with me, how about Neil Magny
loser cuts [their] hair.”
Magny went on to share Holland’s callout on his own Instagram
Stories, which “Trailblazer” perceived to be a nod to trade
leather.
“I guess he’s down,” Holland wrote in a subsequent Instagram
Stories post.
While Magny has gone 2-3 in his last five UFC appearances, “The
Haitian Sensation” has only come up short against tough divisional
competition such as Shavkat
Rakhmonov, Gilbert
Burns and Ian Garry.
