UFC Fighter Kevin Holland & Dillon Danis Exchange Startling Verbal Shots /

Kevin Holland and Dillon Danis found themselves in a verbal exchange on social media.

Holland is a UFC welterweight fan favorite. Whether he wins or loses, very few can deny that he has improved greatly inside the Octagon and has held his own against some tough competition.

As for Danis, his popularity has soared thanks to his online trolling. More specifically, his roasting of Logan Paul's fiancée Nina Agdal, which has led to a lawsuit and a restraining order.

Danis has also been known to troll some UFC fighters. He has claimed that Francis Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion and current PFL fighter, is ducking him. More recently, he took aim at Kevin Holland on the X platform.

If I go to the UFC give me a easy first fight I’ll take Kevin Holland.

"If I go to the UFC give me a easy first fight I’ll take Kevin Holland," Danis wrote.

Holland wasn't interested in taking the insult laying down. He responded to Danis by posting an image of a security guard trapping the Bellator fighter in a rear-naked choke, and writing the following:

Get in line bucko. Maybe we can get you a rematch on #DWCS against this guy first ? Win that and Dana might just give you a contract to the big leagues!! https://t.co/1XuRD4DOfx pic.twitter.com/u91EhJQZNi

"Get in line bucko," Holland wrote. "Maybe we can get you a rematch on #DWCS against this guy first ? Win that and Dana might just give you a contract to the big leagues!!"

A matchup between Holland and Danis probably won't happen anytime soon. With that said, Dillon Danis is scheduled to fight Logan Paul in a boxing match on October 14. Some are wondering if Danis will show up for the fight, as he's even hinted that it may not be worth going through, with his ongoing lawsuit.
