Alright, so the other day I found myself wondering about Kevin Holland, you know, the UFC fighter. Just popped into my head – where’s this guy actually from? You see fighters listed with different places sometimes, the place they train versus where they grew up. So, I decided to look into it.
First thing I did was pretty straightforward. Grabbed my phone, opened up a browser. Just typed in the basic stuff: “kevin holland hometown”. Simple enough, right?
Got a bunch of results back, naturally. The name that kept popping up right away was Riverside, California. Saw that on multiple spots, little bio snippets and things. Okay, seemed like a solid lead. Riverside, CA. Got it.
Okay, but hold on…
But then, as I scrolled a bit more, another place started showing up quite a bit: Fort Worth, Texas. You’d see things like “fighting out of Fort Worth, Texas”. Now, that’s common in MMA. Fighters often move to train at specific gyms, and that becomes their base of operations.
So, this got me thinking. Is his hometown Riverside, where he maybe grew up? Or is it Fort Worth, where he’s currently based for his fighting career? It’s one of those things that isn’t always a single, simple answer.
- Riverside, CA – Kept seeing this linked to his origins, birth place.
- Fort Worth, TX – Consistently mentioned as where he trains and fights out of.
I poked around a little more, trying to clarify. Looked at some fighter profile pages on the big MMA sites – you know the ones. They usually list both birthplaces and where they fight out of. Most seemed to confirm the pattern: born or raised in Riverside, but actively training and living in the Fort Worth area.
So, the takeaway for me? It seems Riverside, California is the answer if you’re asking about his original hometown, where he’s ‘from’ in the traditional sense. But Fort Worth is definitely where his professional fighting life is centered right now. It’s his base. Makes sense, lots of fighters set up shop near their main gyms.
Yeah, just a little digging I did. Interesting how sometimes a simple question like ‘hometown’ can have a couple of answers depending on how you look at it. Anyway, that was my little search mission for the day. Riverside it is, primarily.
