Round two started as the polar opposite with a huge clash of fists and knockdown from Holland, then a comeback takedown from Brunson and a long choke attempt. Brunson owned the remainder of the rounds with his wrestling.

Holland had moments with his striking and even a takedown in the final round, but it was not enough to earn the advantage over Brunsonโ€™s experience and game-plan. Holland even chatted with Khabib Nurmagomedov whoโ€™s sitting on cage side, asking him for wrestling advice.

Brunson keeps his higher place in the rankings with the unanimous decision win.
