LAS VEGAS — Kevin Holland may be one of the UFC's most fun fighters after he scored an awesome finish and cut an epic promo Saturday at the UFC 272 event that took place inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

American fighter Holland overcame a first-round slam to the canvas, hurtful strikes that dazed him, and a whole bunch of leg kicks to triumph early in the second round.

Holland may have lost the first round on all three judges scorecards, but that mattered little when a fighter like him as match-ending power in his mitts.

And 38 seconds into the second, he showed that to its fullest extend, putting Oliveira down with a shot early in the round, before brutal ground-and-pound — that featured horrific punches from the top, and painful elbows for good measure — forced referee Chris Tognoni to intervene.

Holland limited Oliveira to just two shots landed in the second round, while landing 20 of 27 himself for a 74% accuracy rate, while scoring a knockdown for good measure, too.

Holland had done it, but he wasn't done yet.

He then got on the mic and cut a WWE promo of epic proportions.

"'Cowboy' [Oliveira] really came to scrap," Holland said after his win was confirmed, before remarking on his new campaign at welterweight. "I started off a little flat, I guess I was just getting used to being in the weight class.

"Honestly, I don't know who exactly I want next. I just took out one 'Cowboy,' I'd hate to call out another [Donald Cerrone]. It's whatever the world wants."
