Two days before his loss to RDR at UFC 311, Holland was a guest on the Jaxxon Podcast with Quinton Rampage Jackson and Bear Degidio. Several segments from the podcast went viral due to the tension between Holland and Jackson.Holland came on the podcast with what Rampage described as bad energy, rebuffing a bro hug and seemingly challenging the UFC legend and former world champion to a physical altercation, which included some awkward and misplaced gun references.MORE FOR YOUHolland was upset with Rampage over a joke the latter made on social media, which seemingly poked fun at Holland following his loss to Michael Venom Page.Throughout the first part of the interview, Holland kept challenging Jackson to fight and began asking him about the caliber of his firearms. Holland escalated the tensions further by telling the 46-year-old to shut the f### up.To Rampages credit, he remained professional. His poise diffused the situation and facilitated an entertaining interview. During a recap of the segment, Jackson, who was on with another former world champion, TJ Dillashaw, and Degidio, admitted he was angered by Hollands disrespect.At the end of the podcast, I wasnt mad at the kid, Rampage said on the recap episode. But right here at the time, when I got quiet; I had to think. I really had to think. This is one thing a lot of people didnt see on the podcast, he came in with bad energy. I tried to come in for the bro hug and he pushed me away.Degidio called out the disrespect from Holland and Dillashaw slammed his behavior on several levels.He cant talk s###, Dillashaw said. He cant come in her talk s### to a legend across the table. I text Bear, I was like homeboy needs to get slapped.Others chimed in with a similar sentiment. For Kevin, talking guns and start you know, telling him to shut the f### up, I didnt like that, Paul Felder said while on Michael Bispings Believe You Me Podcast.I remember being that age, being mid-fight career, you know, and you do have that chip on your shoulder, we dont feel that need to impress or prove ourselves anymore, so Rampage was really restrained and he was like Bro, what are you talking about?' Bisping said.Dude hes so average, former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker said on his MMArcade Podcast. What do you want me to say? He just time and time again keeps doing the same thing, and the same thing keeps happening. The same thing! Good on those guys, I dont know.The part of Hollands appearance that raised an eyebrow was his commitment to mediocrity in his sport. Most everyone believes hes talented. Lets be honest, youre not in the UFC if youre not among the best fighters in the world.However, Holland tries to sell us a bill of goods by claiming he doesnt want to be champion. He says he is more comfortable staying unranked and collecting fights. In fact, he said his goal is to have the most fights in UFC history, but he feels there are too many politics involved and expectations if youre ranked or the UFC champion.Dillashaw, who had some rough spots in his career, had a poignant take on Holland that cuts through what seems like a facade.Hes entertaining and hes fun, Dillashaw said. I heard him in here talking when he was saying he doesnt care about being champion. Theres too much politics. Im like, alright dude, thats just an excuse because youll never be a champion. Hell never be a champion, and I promise you that.Dillashaw called out some massive holes in his game and mindset.He sat here and said that he doesnt give a s###, Dillashaw added. Are you going to be a champion if you dont care? No. Hes talking about bringing training partners in and going home and smoking weed. Just sitting here and listening to him talk, he doesnt have the mindset for it, hes just happy being on TV. I think its too much work for him.Holland took to social media following the fight and acknowledged he has some work to do to improve.At some point, Holland is going to need to put some victories together, or the UFC will step in and stop his longevity goal with a release. I also agreed with Felder and Degidio. Both men credited Rampages maturity and poise during the interview.I left the situation with more respect for the legend than before.
