Dimensionally, Force is typically represented in units of kg*m/second squared
Note that if it was mass times velocity squared, then the units of what you term "force" would be kg*meters sqaured/seconds squared

He's already spelled it out for you.
mass = kg
v^2 = m^2/sec^2
therefore f = mv^2
f = (kg) * (m^2/sec^2)
f = (kg*m*m)/(sec*sec) not kg*m/sec*sec
