- Derek Brunson is a professional mixed martial artist who currently fights in the middleweight division for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Originally from Wilmington, North Carolina, you will find Derek around the local shops in downtown and Wrightsville. 'I came into MMA and I had a strong core and a lot flexibility.
- Feb 18, 2021 Presently, Derek Brunson is set to face Kevin Holland in a five-round middleweight bout that’ll headline UFC Fight Night 188 on March 20th, 2021. On the other hand, reigning UFC heavyweight.
Kevin Holland may already have his next fight lined up.
Holland (21-5 MMA, 8-2 UFC), who capped off his perfect 2020 with a brutal knockout of Jacare Souza this past Saturday at UFC 256, has called out Derek Brunson.
Speaking to ESPN, Holland explained why he wants Brunson next and claimed the two have history. When Brunson was getting ready to face current UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in 2018, he asked Holland for his help, but Holland declined.
That led to a few back-and-forth private messages on social media and ever since then, Holland has wanted to fight him.
“We’ve had a few little talks,” Holland said. “We were supposed to be on the same card when he fought Edmen Shahbazyan. I was supposed to be fighting Trevin Giles. That fight fell apart. I was low-key hoping his fight fell apart so I could fight him that night. (It) didn’t work out. I was watching him warm up in the back room. He just looks weird when he warms up.
“He just strikes so funny to me. I want to beat him up because I don’t like the way he strikes. He just looks awkward. It’s like a disrespect to striking. It’s sad that he’s knocked out strikers before with that weird striking.”
Holland, who also called out Khamzat Chimaev after stopping Souza, took to Twitter to blast the “wannabe gangster” for not responding. Whether or not he was the target of that tweet, Brunson (21-7 MMA, 12-5 UFC) was happy to oblige to his callout.
