Kevin Holland has found himself in many positions where he helped out those in need, but he doesn’t do it for accolades, or to be labeled as a superhero.
Holland has found himself in the news for his heroics — such as rescuing an individual after flipping an 18-wheeler, helping to apprehend a gunman at a sushi bar, and stopping a perfume thief hours away from his UFC Austin submission win over Tim Means.
Holland claims that there are many more stories that people don’t know, and that he intends to continue telling them.
” I’ve been in. Holland stated that he has not been outside but that he had been inside. I’m trying not to get in the way of crime.
” It’s all you know. It’s what actually gets out to the media. It’s not half of the truth that you guys know. You know what they call Fort Worth? This is Murder Worth. Deep Elum is Dallas’ preferred location. There are always shootouts in Dallas. This year, there have been more shootouts than in five years. I don’t know what the hell is going on, there’s something in the air. It’s wild where I live. You could hear me tell you an amazing story that will make your eyes water .”
Trailblazer declined to elaborate when asked about the story. He didn’t want the wrong impression, or to add to the narrative some people have.
” People always think I’m doing it for the media,” Holland stated. It’s all part of everyday life. All of you live a beautiful life, and it’s time to leave. Although I have moved to a better neighborhood, I deal with the ***.. Maybe I need to move to the woods with Ben Askren.”
Holland made national headlines in October when he was credited with apprehending an accused car theft thief. This video was taken by Holland’s coach and posted to Instagram.
Holland continued to find himself in these situations over the next several months. Holland, a UFC middleweight who has become a welterweight, wants to alter the story. Holland doesn’t care about being the hero or getting attention. In fact, it’s about making a split second decision to act. All of this would be possible if he had the time.
“None of them are good, all of them are horrific,” Holland explained. “The guy who stole somebody’s car — if that was your car, you wouldn’t like the story at all, especially since the car got totaled. The person who ran into the car that totaled it, that was someone’s work vehicle, so I don’t think either like that one.
” If you were in a sushi restaurant with your family, and somebody started a fire, then I doubt you’d like it. You’d probably have PTSD from going out to eat. You’d likely just continue if you saw an 18-wheeler flip over along the side of the road. Just happened to pull over. If that was your buddy in the 18-wheeler and nobody helped them, you’d probably be like, ‘Damn, what the hell?’ Everybody’s like, ‘Wow, you’re a superhero, sounds fun,’ until you think about the people in those situations and it’s not that fun. Doing the right thing is what it’s all about. It’d be nice if people were like, ‘I’m proud of you for doing the right thing,’ instead of, ‘He’s a superhero.’
“It’s pretty f***** up for the people in those situations,” Holland continued. “Everybody in that bar got PTSD from that shooting. My uncle, when he goes out to eat, he’s licensed to arm, and if he ain’t got his thing with him, his back’s against the wall, he’s looking around. It’s obvious, bro. Not everyone deals with the things in the same way
