Check out the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie MMA rankings ahead of this week's UFC on ESPN+ 32 and Bellator 243 events. Jan 01, 2021 Derek Brunson will look to derail another hype train when he faces one of sport's biggest rising stars. © Provided by MMAJunkie After bouncing Edmen Shahbazyan out of the ranks of the unbeaten in. Brunson rebounded from a pair of losses in 2018 with a three-fight winning streak, most recently beating Edmen Shahbazyan by TKO in August. Holland is riding an even more impressive streak, winning five fights in a row in 2020, finishing his opponent early in four of those, including three first-round victories.

Kevin Holland may already have his next fight lined up.

Holland (21-5 MMA, 8-2 UFC), who capped off his perfect 2020 with a brutal knockout of Jacare Souza this past Saturday at UFC 256, has called out Derek Brunson.

Speaking to ESPN, Holland explained why he wants Brunson next and claimed the two have history. When Brunson was getting ready to face current UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in 2018, he asked Holland for his help, but Holland declined.

That led to a few back-and-forth private messages on social media and ever since then, Holland has wanted to fight him.

'We've had a few little talks,' Holland said. 'We were supposed to be on the same card when he fought Edmen Shahbazyan. I was supposed to be fighting Trevin Giles. That fight fell apart. I was low-key hoping his fight fell apart so I could fight him that night. (It) didn't work out. I was watching him warm up in the back room. He just looks weird when he warms up.

'He just strikes so funny to me. I want to beat him up because I don't like the way he strikes. He just looks awkward. It's like a disrespect to striking. It's sad that he's knocked out strikers before with that weird striking.'

Holland, who also called out Khamzat Chimaev after stopping Souza, took to Twitter to blast the 'wannabe gangster' for not responding. Whether or not he was the target of that tweet, Brunson (21-7 MMA, 12-5 UFC) was happy to oblige to his callout.

'Ha ha I accept . Don't run now mfer! See you soon '
