Smith Calls Holland Scared After UFC Vegas 123 Win

Jacobe Smith says Kevin Holland is avoiding him.

The unbeaten welterweight doubled down on his callout after sweeping Randy Brown on all three scorecards at UFC Vegas 123 on Oct. 31, per Sherdog. Smith claimed Holland has no interest in the matchup after watching his performance.

"I know that kid is scared of me," Smith said in his cage interview. "He's seen what I did to Randy, and it's only going to be worse with him because, you know, there's something there."

Smith Dominated Brown Over Three Rounds

Smith improved to 14-0 with a one-sided grappling display in the co-main event. All three judges scored it 30-26. He then challenged the matchmakers to get Holland to sign a contract, saying he does not plan on letting Holland survive and expects him to run from the booking. Smith also warned the rest of the 170-pound roster that he is ready to take over the division and run through any opponent put in front of him.

No word yet on whether the UFC will make the Holland fight or move Smith to a ranked opponent next.
