“Backstage we communicated. I was like, ‘Hey man, sorry for the groin shots, hope you’re alright.’ He was like, ‘That was cheap man, that was cheap.’ I’m like, ‘Dude, do you think I’m trying to kick you in the groin? That’s not what I came here to do. - Mike Malott on his interaction with Kevin Holland after UFC Vancouver via Ariel Helwani Podcast”

“I tried to apologize a couple of times, we’re in there fighting man, stuff happens. What do you want me to do man? I’m not a dirty fighter, I’m not out there trying to do anything greasy. I just wanted to go out there and have a good performance - Mike Malott on his interaction with Kevin Holland after UFC Vancouver via Ariel Helwani Podcast”

“The game plans to knee the nuts a bunch; it was working perfectly. No, dude, I swear I was kneeing the body. That guy's hips are up by my n***les, man. It's hard to get a knee that high. -jokes kick to the d**k was an accident”

“The other thing that I heard was that he didn’t know he was fighting me, so I’m wondering how he knows what my skill level is like if that’s the case! But honestly, it doesn’t matter to me what he says. The reason I’m so confident going into this fight is the preparation that I put in and the skills that I bring to the octagon. This camp went so well. I’m the best I’ve ever been by a long shot. So no matter what anybody says, that doesn’t change the preparation that I put in-responds to Holland's trashtalk”
