But the fact is Gaethje is the human highlights for this, max porier they all have a 1 single boring fight, but gaethje hasn't, also watch all his losses are all fight of the year or fight of the month fight of the night, is absurd
Great to see Max say his biggest moment is still beating Aldo in Rio...dude trained 5 years to beat Aldo so it definitely makes sense
See how he is still not shitting on topouria and in a way defending his reaction is what makes him so loved. Dude is a pure soul and a violent mf inside octagon

Love Max, he's always called out everyone, been gracious in victory and has given us highlights for the ages. An absolute class act and legend. Hawaii, you have a king, and he's blessed!

Man wow!!! That KO by Max Holloway was absolutely insane!! He invited Justin Gaethje to throw it down in the center of the octagon, and getting the KO in the last second! Insanity 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Max is such a lovable humble guy man. He speaks as if Justin gave him the opportunity as if he doesn't doesn't know that he's the most accomplished fighter on UFC300 being a four time world champion and one of the greatest FWs in history!
The best is blessed 🙌🏽

Max VS Connor, people would eat that up. Connor is the poster boy for trash talking, chasing the bag, while being able to knock you out cold with one punch. Max is the poster boy for respecting the sport, building your legacy, and being able to take you into the deep end and just drowning you with combos until you give up or until you’re saved by the bell. The ol “Good VS Evil” never gets old.
legendary!!
Max always throws down ! Thank you for the goosebumps Man that was historical to witness !
Max has to be on the Mount Rushmore of pound for pound fighters.

Scary part is dude only 32 years old just getting into his prime yet I always thought he was older I feel like we have yet to see the best of max with a prime body and he’s way sharper and smarter this fight was amazing so proud of max he deserved it props to Justin to straight dog warrior went out on his shield no quitter # respect

No man! Max has no chance against gaethje. He has short hands He has no power His chin will be cracked by gaethje Gaethje is a beast, he is so powerful for max. Gaethje's leg kick is a problem for max Max will be the next Tony Ferguson AND I BET MAX WILL BE KO'ed BEFORE THE BELL IN ROUND #5😂
