At UFC 300, Max Holloway delivered one of the most memorable knockouts in MMA history, securing victory over Justin Gaethje in spectacular fashion. The event, held in Las Vegas, marked a historic milestone in the world of mixed martial arts.
Holloway's Dominance
Despite facing Gaethje in the latter's preferred weight class of 155lbs, Holloway showcased his mastery over five rounds, positioning himself for a decision win. Throughout the fight, Holloway's performance hinted at an impending victory, with his skill and control evident from the outset.
The Jaw-Dropping Finish
With just seconds remaining on the clock, Holloway risked his lead by engaging Gaethje in one final exchange. What followed was a breathtaking moment as Holloway landed a devastating overhand right, sending Gaethje crashing to the canvas in a face-plant knockout.
Redemption for Holloway
For Holloway, this victory marked a significant redemption following his previous lightweight venture in 2019, where he fell short against Dustin Poirier. However, with ample time to prepare for this bout, Holloway looked comfortable and confident throughout, asserting his dominance over Gaethje.
Holloway's Callout
After his victory over Gaethje, Holloway wasted no time in calling out reigning featherweight champion Ilia Topuria. Topuria, who recently claimed the 145lbs title from Alexander Volkanovski, now stands as Holloway's next target in his quest for championship gold.
