Khamzat Chimaev and Kevin Holland have had their share of run-ins in the UFC. The two have gone back and forth on multiple occasions and always seem to be linked.
Khamzat Chimaev recently spoke with ZubaTV about an altercation he had with Kevin Holland a little over a year ago at the Apex. Things got physical between the two men.

Kevin Holland also explained they had issues after Khamzat Chimaev thought he was an employee of the hotel they were at. It's fair to say the two aren't fans of each other.
Their altercation started after Kevin Holland put a comment under one of Khamzat Chimaev's posts. It all spiraled from there.
“Holland. He commented something under an Instagram post about me… He wrote something like, ‘It’s all good but where’s your mask? You can infect him.’ Something like that,” Khamzat Chimaev explained in an interview with ZubaTV. “I came up to him in the hotel and asked, ‘What did you mean by that?’ He answered, ‘I don’t really remember but what about it?’ Or something like that.
“I grabbed his neck and pushed him away,” Chimaev continued. “Then, when people were holding me, he started blah blah blah. Typical American thing. Just talking without doing anything.”
Chimaev grabbed Kevin Holland's neck and things could have gotten out of control from there. People came and separated the two and prevented things from going further.
Khamzat Chimaev has a fight coming up at UFC 267 against China's Li Jingliang at welterweight. Kevin Holland is set to rematch Kyle Daukaus on November 13.
