“Yes, my opponent is stronger than nails. My hands hurt because he has such a strong head. I understood that Kevin Holland is just a beast and I needed to use my ranged weapons, in other words kicks. In the next fight, you will see an improved version of Stephen Thompson. I am here until the very end. Everyone here today, I appreciate your support. Thank you Orlando, I love you,” Thompson said.
Recall that Thompson defeated Holland by TKO in the fourth round.
