Jacobe Smith Stays Unbeaten at UFC 332, Has Violent Message for Kevin Holland

Jacobe Smith has unfinished business with Kevin Holland, and he is not being polite about it. The undefeated welterweight prospect moved to 13-0 by demolishing late-notice replacement Bruce Whitehead in just 92 seconds at UFC 332 last Saturday inside Delta Center in Salt Lake City. It was his fourth UFC win in four appearances, all by finish.

Smith was originally booked to face Holland in July, but Holland withdrew with an injury and the fight was postponed. The UFC rebooked the bout for UFC 332, and Holland pulled out again. Whitehead stepped in on short notice.

"I want to kill him. I want to murder him," Smith said of Holland after the win, per MMA Sucka. "He put me through two fight camps." Smith said he had put other parts of his life on hold for the Holland fight and was frustrated that Holland accepted the bout twice and failed to show up both times.

Smith also questioned Holland's timeline. "Your foot's still hurt, but you're accepting fights with other dudes," he said, referencing Holland's upcoming bout against Uros Medic at UFC 334 next month.

The message was clear: if Holland wins that fight, Smith is coming for him. "You better hope Uros Medic gets your ass out of there, because if you win, I'm coming for you," Smith said.

At 30 years old and riding a 13-fight unbeaten streak with all finishes, Smith is one of the most dangerous young welterweights on the UFC roster. He needs a step up in competition, and the Holland fight would give him exactly that.
