According to a follow-up report from Ariel Helwani, Holland was push-kicked in the chest by 'Borz'. As per Helwani, Chimaev kicked Holland due to resentment over recent comments from 'Trailblazer'. However, Holland appears to refute this, claiming to have felt nothing during the altercation. 'Trailblazer' also urged for it to be recorded as a "failed attempt" by Chimaev. The 29-year-old wrote on Twitter: "That’s weird I didn’t feel a thing. UFCStatsBot please update this as a failed attempt via Chimaev."
