UFC CEO Dana White is in awe of Max Holloway’s buzzer-beater over Justin Gaethje at UFC 300. Holloway challenged Gaethje for the BMF Championship. Those who picked Gaethje to win, including myself, felt that “The Highlight’s” punching power would be enough to throw Holloway off of his rhythm. We were easily fooled, as “Blessed” showed why he’s still an elite striker in the MMA game. Holloway pieced up Gaethje before landing the knockout shot with just one second left in the fight.
