Man knows what he’s doing. That walkout concept was unreal. Missed the boat @UFC

[@dharris1084able]

They may let him do it… and do it vs Ian Garry!!

[@alcottdevalte7440]

A shame that the UFC turned it down. Would have been the best entrance in MMA history besides maybe some stuff during Pride days.

[@paintnopicasso275]

Absolute stupidity. Since when does a non main event/ comain get a special walkout for UFC? There is a timetable for walks, fights etc. go win a title, fight for a championship. Bro thought Dana was going to let him have a magic show. This is fighting.

[@Prodohue]

Mvp is good. A damn shame it’s taken this long to see him in the UFC, but happy none the less. Him versus Ian Garry next would be great

Give him Magny or Neal next, those would be better fights for him going forward.

Sometimes I feel like Holland is a little too honest, his laid back attitude makes me think if the going gets tough he struggles.

he literally said that in the interview if you watched the full video

[@haroon4567]

@@MiloIBATA Don't get me wrong, i love these entrances. But the UFC has the arena booked for a certain time so they need to end it by then. Plus Dana doesn't like these gimmicky entrances so has no extra time allocated for them.

MVP should be in the production department of the UFC

[@Tedaus20]

So glad to see this dude in UFC. Completely fit in naturally. Felt like he's been here his whole career. Very excited for his next fight.

[@devadasn]

I feel like he’s the guy to beat Ian Garry. MVP is tricky to deal with but it would definitely be a great matchup. Or Garry might win who knows but I’d like to see it

[@torronbrown4107]

I was saying the same thing he will beat Garry if they fight

[@GradeAmonster]

Garrys biggest tool being his range would completely be nullified. I personally think MVP would get the job done

[@AT-qu2bz]

Garry gonna win that via lay&pray
