Holland reportedly refused to do an interview after the fight, but that didn’t stop MMA fans from producing memes celebrating his accomplishment in droves.

Kevin Holland has learned that with great power comes great responsibility, and I can't wait to find out what happens next in his superhero origin story.

Many online compared Holland to Batman, especially because this isn’t the first time the MMA fighter has also been a crime fighter. Just last year, he successfully intervened to stop a carjacking in another story that went similarly viral.

The fact that this isn't the first time he has done something like this is crazy. Kevin Holland is literally Batman. https://t.co/BtkiKJF9rS

A well-known photograph of Holland flashing a thumbs-up and smiling while pinned in what is clearly a very uncomfortable chokehold also made the rounds on Twitter today in response to news of the fighter's heroism.

Holland has certainly had an interesting past couple of days. Just a week before last night’s fight with the restaurant shooter, he won a fight against Alex Oliveira in the ring. But Holland’s latest victory earns him a title that few other fighters have. According to many on the web, he is the closest thing we have to a real-life Batman.
