That might be the most brutal headbutt I’ve seen in MMA since the early days.

Man… Holland almost gets out out twice but that looked like a clear headbutt to me… oof. Get to the window fast if you got a Daukaus ticket like me, but hope Holland is ok. #UFCVegas38

Holland was a zombie out there. Went out, came back to life to keep fitin.

That’ll be a “no contest” come Monday. Then the rematch sometime down the road.

That’s tough for Kevin Holland. Knocked out by the head butt. He snapped back, but Daukaus was in control from there. I’m not even sure how to feel about that one @ufc .

Mad respect for Kevin Holland, who fought on after he appeared to be knocked out by a vicious clash of heads. Kyle Daukaus was smart to go all in for the finish/submission. NSAC just reviewed it, but the call stands. Wow.

Herb Dean telling Dan Miragliotta that he has the authority to rule this bout a No Contest if he feels the headbutt lead to a lengthy finishing “sequence” that favored Kyle Daukaus.

Crazy that the officials are consulting with multiple UFC senior executives about how to rule in this fight.
This sport remains the dirtiest and weirdest.

The fact that they’re still discussing this after they fought well past the head butt is ridiculous to be honest. If they stop the fight right after the head butt, that’s one thing but Holland fought on. Daukus kept fighting and won by submission, full stop.

Sucks for Holland. Last week there was a clash of heads with Ortega volkanawski too that had a big impact on the fights momentum

I know Holland has a serious headache right now ! 😬 that head butt was vicious ! #UFCVegas38

No contest seems like the right call here, imo. But pay them their full fight checks. #UFCVegas38
— Matthew Wells (@MrMWells) October 3, 2021
Wow. Upon review, it goes into the books as a no-contest. Daukaus looks kinda pissed. Hard to blame him, but I think this is prolly the right call. Glad it’s not my call. More Monday –> @AnikFlorianPod @kennyflorian

Flo fighters fight bro, we’re trained, we get hurt we fight. Unfortunately the blow that hurt was a unintentional clash of heads. Last week merab was knocked out but kept going. Difference is he got hit with legal shot. Kyle did what he was supposed to do and won but illegal. https://t.co/2ywQQyxXOJ
