Josh Thomson Points Out Potential Mistake With Kevin Holland's Training After Loss At Noche UFC: 'That's A Big No-No!'

Josh Thomson has some concerns about how Kevin Holland's training may be structured now that the welterweight has opened his own gym. 

“Trailblazer” closed out 2022 with back-to-back losses, but he quickly rebounded this year by earning stoppage wins over Santiago Ponzinibbio and Michael Chiesa. Those victories set him up for a co-main event matchup at Noche UFC opposite Jack Della Maddalena, where Holland put in a solid performance but came up short on the judges’ scorecards.

Speaking with his co-host “Big” John McCarthy on their show Weighing In, Thomson shared some thoughts on Holland’s performance and considered what may have kept the welterweight from collecting his third-straight win.

“I can’t figure him out,” Thomson said. “What else gives me the creeps though right now is that he said he opened his own gym, he has his own spot. And now he’s calling the shots, he said that...To me, that’s a big no-no.”

Opening a gym is obviously exciting news for Holland from a business standpoint, but Thomson worries that “Trailblazer” may not be getting the same kind of results out of his training camp when he’s the one in control of everything.
