""Neil Magny always says he's down, and then for some reason it never happens," Holland told reporters including Cageside Press on Wednesday. "We've been trying to do this for about four years now. I don't think it's ever been offered to me, and I don't know if it's ever been offered to him. I just know, for some reason, it never happens. I'm always the one saying let's go.""
"He's open to a rematch with Rodriguez or a long-awaited clash with Neil Magny for what would be his sixth bout of the year. "I lost to one guy, and I don't feel like I should have. The other guy (Magny) he has a great record, great style, he's won a lot of fights," he said. "He has the most wins in welterweight history. To beat that guy would be a good feather in my cap.""
Kevin Holland says attempts to book a fight with Neil Magny have stalled for about four years despite Magny expressing willingness. Holland insists he is often the one pushing for the matchup. Holland (28-14) is coming off a decision loss to Daniel Rodriguez at UFC 318 in July that he disputes. Holland is open to either a rematch with Rodriguez or the long-awaited Magny bout, noting Magny's record, style, and status as the welterweight wins leader. Holland sees a win over Magny as a significant accomplishment. He fights Mike Malott at UFC Vancouver.
