[@michaelbush1374]

It's the best KO I've ever seen. You're talking about a suspected underdog dominating most of the rounds against one of the divisions most prolific strikers. It was entertaining from start to finish. Then, in the last 10 seconds the underdog calls out for a all out war that could cost him the match and the underdog wins, knocks him out with one second on the clock. Dana White said it best in the post fight conference when he said "That's movie shit." This isn't something you ever expect to see in real life. But Max Holloway blessed us.

[@taylornerys6689]

Over the Aldo V Mcgregor I mean if Connor loses what happens to the history of ufc

Only the Blessed can hand out Blessings of this magnitude

[@ROBERTOMOSKERA]

pura poesía este comentario.

[@MoeShlomo]

The fact that Max was dominating doesn't help make it the best KO ever, in my opinion. It would have been even greater if he was losing the fight and then pulled it off at the last second. Personally, I thought YaIr Rodriguez KOing The Korean Zombie was better for that reason - he was losing the fight (I think) and it was a crazy reverse elbow at the last second. Like something out of The Matrix.

[@Ryoshiz7T]

Such blessage

[@theallamericannightmare4163]

Spoken like a true poet. The Shakespeare of MMA uncle chael.

[@McFarlaneDragonClan]

Yep. I agree 💯

[@Isaac-wt2dk]

I think it’s honestly the best. Legit the best ending for a bmf championship. Max was a bad underdog. Went up a weight class. Fought the most violent guy. Was dominating the whole fight. And still got a last second brutal ko when he could’ve just walked around for the last 10 seconds. AND on the biggest card in the history of the ufc. All the context behind it makes it perfect imo

[@GageMichaelLee]

Max was only + 130. That’s not too big of an underdog lol

[@Isaac-wt2dk]

@@GageMichaelLee he moved into a division where he was already 0-1 to fight a top 5 ranked guy. Mfs were calling him pillow hands. But yea the odds didn’t make him seem as bad as an underdog sure. I think there’s more context than just the betting odds tho lol

[@daniela7815]

@@Isaac-wt2dk I can find hate talk on every fighter, reality is both are great fighters and no one was remotely an underdog, bets were in favor of Justin because he beat Dustin that's about all the context there is.

[@RunningtoHim828]

It’s the most BMF moment in the most BMF sport and for the literal BMF belt. Yeah, it was the best KO ever.

[@TwoMuleBlues]

Perfect way to put it.

[@xxmimino]

Its bmf moment but not even close to be the best ko ever not even top 15 comon now

[@RunningtoHim828]

@@xxmimino yeah, as a knockout all by itself, yes you’re right…. But if taken in full context, it can certainly be argued to be the greatest ever in the UFC’s short history.

[@kchop4tehwpn]

@@xxmimino Provide more context for your argument, give us at least your top 15 so we have something to compare it to. Your ether ghost is hard to track down, it's pure ethos and thus unrelated to anyone but you. Recent syndrome is a real thing, but this fight and it's context and set up make it very compelling. When you have a person who's winning and can coast and puts them self in the worst possible chance of victory and gives their opponent an opening, that is just in efficient and bad math. I always think of when the black beast beat up that poor Russian man who dominated the whole fight, had he just played it safe he would not have lost, likely cost himself a tittle shot. It was 1 second left and he slept a guy who doesn't get slept often, had a TKO loss and one KO loss prior to this fight. He was the bigger guy, with more KO power and a track record for putting people to sleep. Betting underdog, the odds makers are not trying to lose money. Also i'm not even suggesting your wrong per say, i'm saying your lazy attempt at a superficial comment that has nothing behind it makes people want to not believe you on your laziness alone. As far as top KO's go, i have rumble having a few that are pretty high on my own personal list, but I can actually go into the ones that he does and why they rank so far ahead for me. You have left us with nothing but brown pajamas so to speak.

[@aaroncromwell]

It's my favourite. A "new" and "legendary" title... Max comes up in weight class, as the overwhelming underdog... absolutely pieces Highlight up for 24 minutes and 50 seconds... sailing to a unanimous 50-45 win, Blessed just needed to run out the clock to win the fight, the belt, the bonus and everything... instead he calls a total KILLER to the centre of the octagon... and proceeds to ABSOLUTELY SAVAGE Justin in a reckless firefight, ending in a "completely slept" KO... and all on one of the biggest cards of all time. Greatest KO of all time, IMO

[@duramaxdad]

Muffin top Max blessed express himself any big fight he desires. He’s loved the world round.

[@ChristopherJohn4389]

He should of never been an underdog. Max is much bigger than Justin. Justin doesn't cut much weight if any to make lightweight. Max was gonna fight Khabib on short notice but couldn't cut weight to make lightweight. So the weight difference is a non factor in making Max an underdog. Also, Max has had much more success in the UFC and has taken less damage. The bookies raked up on this fight.

[@duramaxdad]

@@ChristopherJohn4389 What had Max done at LW to make him anything other than an underdog?

Max moving up in weight, and winning every round, was NUTS! Max calling for the “phone booth” in the last 10 seconds… after winning every round, was INSANE! Max KO’ing JUSTIN F’KIN GATHJE… not knocking him down… but OUT COLD?? THAT GUY?? OUT COULD?!? Greatest KO ever!

[@scottwall8419]

For me, the best part was he didn't need to but becuase he deserves to have the BMG shot because he does this. Halloway has done this many times before calling dudes to the center l, against good and bad strikers cause he's a killer. Also he didn't need to, he was decisively winning but knew what the people wanted in this fight. Personally I think BMF should go until there's a knockout. Nosubmissions, either he or the ither gets knocked, then you will get some of the greatest fights in history.

[@14jefecito]

Doesn’t he always call for that at the end of fights ??? Doesn’t he always point to the center towards the end ?? Is this the first time he actually KO someone ?? Seems kinda fortunate that he got the KO .. pereiras was more badass imo

[@Alden-]

@@14jefecito How many times have we seen a KO almost exactly like Pereira ‘s, besides him waving off Herb? He didn’t even get the walk-off, and had to smash his face more to actually finish it. Not to mention the fact that Pereira was an absolute favorite. Phone booths are the most badass thing you can call for in the UFC, whether Max calls for it every time or not. Alex getting a KO on a dude everyone knew he’d beat, after waving off Herb (because Hill hit his groin guard), is not as badass- or better than Max’s. Max went up a weight class, fought the most violent guy at LW, was an underdog, call for the bang at the end, and won with a single second left through knockout. It’s the literal definition of a “Walk-Off Knockout”.

[@nlee5034]

@@14jefecito no, he doesn’t “always” call for that. And, again… no, he doesn’t KO people. And Justin, has never been KO’d… and he fought much bigger guys. And, to add the checkmate, Alex didn’t KO Jamal. Jamal was never “slept”. Game… Set… Match.

[@nlee5034]

@@scottwall8419 yeah, I think that’s what sends this KO over the top, and makes it the best in history. Much bigger fighter… with a chin of granite… and Max KNEW if Justin catches him clean, once… that he loses the fight… for the belt… in a fight he was dominating. He gave the man they call the “Highlight” one more shot to win.

[@k-bridge3071]

It was a special, legendary moment in the sport’s history. Couldn’t happened to a better guy either. Just perfect.

[@mattharvey7677]

It's definitely up there. Not just the knockout itself, but the whole fight and situation and then how we even got to the knockout itself in that last 10 seconds.

[@FailoReachForge]

You said only one fight in mma was dictated by the jab but Sean Strickland's whole career and especially his fight Vs Izzy has been using his jab to throw of the timing of other fighters.Good video though Chael!

My wife and I watch a lot of ppv's, fight nights, we were at 281 when Periera beat Izzy, we were at 287 when Izzy flatlined Periera, and we were just at 300. The crowd response alone when Max landed that shot and slept Gaethje told me we just witnessed something truly historic. I've never been in a more electric environment than that in my life. All things considered, as a big Gaethje fan, I rank this one as my personal favorite. Respect to Max, that was absolutely wild

[@johnnyeproductions]

I digress Great knockout but not the greatest ever

[@TheShallowBoy23]

Joaquin Buckley for the spinning back kick and although some of these KOs were more impressive, its everything around Max's that makes it standout. Any other fighter wouldve cruised to the W being up 3-1, but he chose to scrap with the most dangerous man in the division and came out with the surprise KO on the very last punch of the war. Its everything leading to the KO that makes it so spectacular and puts it above the rest.

@TheShallowBoy23 i get your point. I think im just tired of everything has to be compared, or better than the last best " thing"., mj v lebron, constant debating ; "no this mt rushmore is the actual mt rushmore",etc It was an amazing moment, and it will be in every highlight, greatest ko, on the mt rushmore of greatest moments going forward. .

Had a tear from this one Chael. The Best ever??? You must of had one that was close.

That was top 5. My greatest list starts with hendo shogun 3... The noise that uppercut made sounded like a shotgun
