According to Holland, he broke his hand in the first round when he managed to shake the opponent with a right hand.
“Stephen Thompson, my hard-headed brother, I broke not one, but three bones. Respect!” Holland wrote on the social network, posting a photo of his swollen hand.
According to the final protocol, Holland won the first round against Thompson and lost the next three, with two judges deciding that Wonderboy took the fourth five-minute period, which became the final one in the match, with a score of 10-8.
Recall that the welterweight fight was the main event of the UFC on ESPN 42 tournament, held last weekend in Orlando.
