UFC Fighter Chokes Out Internet 'Troll' In Sparring Session After They Messaged Him On Instagram

A UFC fighter has choked out an internet ‘troll’ after they challenged him to a fight via Instagram, repeatedly claiming they’d be able to beat the black belt star. Take a look below:

UFC middleweight Kevin Holland shared screengrabs from the fairly one-sided conversation he’d with an Instagram user, who had written to him: “All I gotta say is even though [you’re] a black belt I’m positive I could submit you prove me wrong.” 

A few weeks later, the stranger then messaged again, saying: “Stop ducking me.” 

Another message a month after that simply said: “Still ducking me pu**ya**.” 

Holland, who is currently the 14th ranked middleweight in UFC, eventually decided to teach the ‘tough guy’ a lesson, and put him on a bus to get him in for a session. 

He then posted the results on Twitter, with a 30-second clip showing Holland pinning his opponent down in a choke hold before the bloke was forced to tap out. 

Sharing the saga with fans, Holland tweeted: “This troll thought he was a tough guy or skilled or some bs. So I put his a** on a bus, paid for his hotel room and brought him in for a session. How it started... 

“Vs how it’s going…. 1 troll down, way too many more to go!”

Many fans praised Holland for 'shutting down' the troll, while others argued the man was brave to have even shown up in the first place.

One commented: "Good stuff Kevin Holland! Shut them down!"

Someone else said: "Props to this guy for at least showing up but wtf did he think was gonna happen."

A third wrote: "To his credit... he had the guts to actually show up and test himself. 99.9% of trolls wouldn't. Just hide behind anonymous safe accounts."

Some said the stunt only acted as a triumph for the trolls, with one commenting: "Giving the troll this much attention is a win to trolls. Just keep trolling and you will get noticed eventually, maybe even flown out to meet a celebrity."

One other person, meanwhile, avoided the debate altogether, joking: "Yow Kevin, I live in Belgium and would like to challenge you. Can you pay for my airplane ticket, visa and hotel room, so i can tap in 20 seconds and enjoy a holiday in the US?"

Can't blame them for trying, eh?
