Max Holloway on Being Counted Out Before UFC 300 Win Against Justin Gaethje

[@mostafaamr5495]

The fact that he spent almost 8 min talking about Gaethje and giving him props in a fight that Max made it look pretty easy. Max is such a great man.

[@anthonycarpenter9662]

That’s what I was gonna say. Man is so humble he’s complimenting the strengths of the dudes he beat

[@SSFYHHH]

[@ABVW92]

Even when he spoke about the 3rd Volk fight, he is so matter of fact about it, giving props, "that was just volks night, he was on!"

[@oldmedstudent1750]

​@@anthonycarpenter9662 While I agree, and love me some Max. Usually complimenting the dude you just crushed is a type of humblebrag.

[@adithyaramesh5634]

But I think this time he actually means it cause Justin gave him a chance when he didn't have to. If not for this fight people would have written Max off and he would probably never have gotten a title fight again.​@@oldmedstudent1750
