Kevin Holland is a real-life superhero. Full stop.

Check this: per multiple reports, a gunman opened fire in a Houston-area sushi restaurant last night. Reports stated that 40-50 ppl were inside. Three men immediately took the gunman down, subdued him and took his gun away. No one was injured. One of those men? KEVIN FREAKING HOLLAND. I mean, c’mooon.

He did it again! Remember back in October when he took down a car thief? Two days after he fought Kyle Daukaus, mind you. What a guy. I’m not sure if this is good luck or bad luck, but this is just tremendous stuff. They should give him the key to the whole damn state of Texas at this point.



The man is Batman

The ABC has announced two changes to the unified rules of MMA.

The Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports (ABC) today passed two changes to the unified rules of MMA.

Rule Change 1: Fighters will now get five minutes to recover after eye pokes

Eye pokes and groin shots have been commonplace fouls in MMA competition. With a groin strike, the athlete is allowed five minutes to recover. Now, after the 2022 ABC conference, eye pokes will garner the same rule – five minutes to recover, should the fighter want that.

In both cases, should the clock expire (after five minutes), the bout will be called off.

Rule Change 2: Neoprene sleeves are now allowed to be worn by competitors

“‘A competitor may use soft neoprene-type sleeves to cover only the knee or ankle joints. Approved sleeves may not have padding, velcro, plastic, metal, ties, or any materials considered to be unsafe or that may create an unfair advantage. Neoprene sleeves are not considered equipment or clothing and may not be grabbed advantageously inside or as clothing can be grabbed by self. Tape and gauze or any materials other than the approved sleeves are not permitted on the lower body. The sleeves must be black in color with the exception of matching the athletes commission-assigned corners with the sleeves being blue or red or colored as appropriate.”

Didn't know eyepokes didn't have that length of recovery time....but the neopreme sleeves are BS.....may as well let Jiu Jitsu experts to wear grappling pants.

I only learned eye pokes didn't have that rule recently cause a commentator was like "technically they don't get the 5 minutes here but referee discretion" lol
