Jacobe Smith Issues Violent Warning to Kevin Holland Post-UFC 332 Win

Jacobe Smith directly addressed Kevin Holland following his victory at UFC 332, making his intentions clear.

Smith was originally scheduled to fight Holland in July, but an injury forced Holland out. Smith was then matched against UFC newcomer Bruce Whitehead at UFC 332 on Saturday.

Facing Whitehead after the Holland fight fell through proved disappointing for Smith. After securing a first-round knockout, he sent a pointed message to Holland, expressing his strong desire for the rescheduled bout.

"I want to kill Kevin Holland," Smith stated to UFC News post-fight. "I want to murder Kevin Holland. He disrupted two of my fight camps. I'm building my life outside of fighting too, and I had to put that on hold to prepare for a fight. Then he cancels the week of, and we reschedule. He accepted twice, then didn't show up in Utah. Your foot's still injured, yet you're accepting fights with other guys. You better hope Uros Medic takes you out, because if you win, I'm coming for you."

This forceful warning from Jacobe Smith signals his intent to hold Kevin Holland accountable for withdrawing from their scheduled bouts. While Smith has called him out, the timing of this potential fight remains uncertain.

Smith's Consistent Message to Opponents

Even with his focus on Holland, Smith has a consistent message for any opponent he faces next.

Smith emphasized that he is actively seeking decisive finishes, regardless of his next opponent.

"It's the same statement I've been making. You'll have to be ready to fight if you think you can step into the cage with Jacobe and make it the full 15 minutes," Smith added.

Jacobe Smith boasts an undefeated professional record of 13-0, with a 4-0 record in the UFC. All four of his UFC victories have come by stoppage.
