T.J. Dillashaw guarantees Kevin Holland will never touch UFC gold.

Dillashaw was critical of the lack of urgency Holland (26-13 MMA, 13-10 UFC) showed in his first-round submission loss to Reinier de Ridder at UFC 311 this past Saturday.

Holland, who was crowned MMA Junkie's 2020 Fighter of the Year after going 5-0, has now lost four of his past five outings.

"I commented on one of the posts you guys put out there about him not caring about being a champion, 'There's too much politics in it.' All right, dude. That's just an excuse, because you'll never be a champion," Dillashaw said on the "JAXXON PODCAST." "He's a very entertaining fighter. He talks a lot. But he will never be a champion. I promise you that. It's the truth. He's got some holes in his game, and we see it here."

Dillashaw also takes issue with Holland's attitude. He doesn't think "Trailblazer" cares enough to become UFC champion.

"Are you going to be a champion if you don't care? No. You need to obsess about it every day of your life," Dillashaw said. "You need to be OCD about training, about being the best and not losing one practice.

"He's talking about bringing training partners in and going home and smoking weed. Just sitting here and listening to him talk and then watching his skills on TV, he doesn’t have the mindset for it. He's just happy being on TV."

Holland himself has acknowledged that his recent performances haven't been up to par.
