UFC Fighters DIDN'T KNOW Max Holloway was this good....

Max Holloway produced a Hall of Fame worthy knockout to clinch the BMF title against Justin Gaethje. The former featherweight champion delivered the knockout blow with one second remaining on the clock.
Max Holloway's knockout victory over Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 has captivated over 10 million viewers, cementing its place as one of the most memorable moments in UFC history. Stepping up a weight class to face Gaethje for the BMF belt, Holloway's performance was nothing short of legendary. Despite entering the bout as the underdog, Holloway dominated much of the fight.UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria has issued a response to Max Holloway, after ‘Blessed’ called him out following his incredible win over Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 this past Saturday.
After Ilia Topuria won the 145lb title against Alexander Volkanovski back in February, he has been waiting for a top featherweight to separate themselves as his next challenger.

Max fought one of my friends in his amateur days here in Hilo Hawaii under Bj Penns old “ Just Scrap “ promotion. Max beat the brakes off my homeboy 😂 buts it’s so crazy to think I was sitting front row watching my friend get his ass kicked by a future UFC legend.

Justin is my all time favorite fighter man. I am so glad that I'm not a gambling man... I had NO IDEA Max Holloway was such a BEAST. I'm in total shock and awe. I thought Justin was evolving, getting better and better after his last victory... But man, this fight proved that you just never know who's going to win. Even Alex Pierra can be beat.. You just never know what the underdog will do any given night. Max Holloway deserves great respect. So badass.

[@palmtrees6228]

It's the fight game bro. That's exactly how I felt when Volk beat Max only the 3rd time tho the first two was neck to neck and super competitive but look wtf this man did. Gaethje is a beast he can have a Max type bounce back

[@superdroski7813]

​@@juliorodriguez2694right? My guy did indeed get dominated by Volk in that 3rd fight but even with a horrible cut early on in the fight and never being able to find his timing he never looked to the ref to help him... Tf? 😂😂 It's a loss but that's arguably still a good loss because Max was clearly losing but his heart never wavered and he kept trying his damnedest till the bitter end... Win or lose he is a true BMF and bonafide legend.

[@goukhanakul]

Hats off to the minds behind the scene in his team. I enjoyed both max and Justin’s videos building up to the fights and I feel they should keep doing it and I would watch every fighters training and insight as well.

Bmf is basically the stand and bang belt! For top notch strikers bangers or at the least two very fierce fighters that can bring the fight to an intense war on the feet and even exciting ground game. Bmf has to have a finish or a fight if the night potential now

[@pauldavis5665]

I love how everyone ignores the eye pokes for someone well-loved like Max. Compare that to Stipe vs. DC and everyone was giving DC so much hate saying that was the only reason DC won that fight. Why does Max get a free pass? Obviously, the eye pokes had to have an effect on the fight.

[@tervalas]

So just looking at the thumbnail, I'm a little irritated at the title of this video. For example, Mighty Mouse and Max are good friends and MM has always said how dangerous and good Max is. Anything claiming MM "didn't know Max Holloway was this good" needs to correct itself. We're people surprised he did so well against a weight class up from his normal? Of course they were. But "didn't know" he was good? Silly.
