There will never be another guy like Max. Granite chin, endless cardio, overwhelming pressure, and still willing to stand and trade in a fight he's winning 4-1.
everyone with "never taken down or never dropped" seems to be taken down and dropped these days, father time is ticking
@@FreakZMMAhe did get dropped for the first time in this fight. But yeah Father Time does catch up to everyone. Hopefully max can leave before that.
@@i_HydraHe's got 2-3 more years.
5-0
@@brandonamezquita4501 More. He's only 31.
Max is just a humble good human being imo. Blessed Man Forever BMF
Not gonna lie bruh I had to smack my boy for saying max was wack
“ I was getting hurt by the wind” 😂(speaking from Justin’s shots) Max a class act you deserve everything brother flawless performance hands down one of the best fights in history
The fact that max didn’t jump in the Illia looming scared thing, and said what he said just shows how classy he is
ilia aint scared. lol. he just processing how max beats LWs, volk didn't, yet volk beat max
@@tuffneggah no I’m not saying that at all, I know illia can beat him
He's him people do act like he's 38 fighting he's still 32 in his prime
Fair, but the mileage is insane to still have that spirit & chin 👏
Man looked like he just leveled up AGAIN. Seems like a lot of his previous 145 fights didn’t get him up like this did. He showed up and showed out.
Agreed. Blessed knows that he’s been in wars too. I remember in an interview years back that he barely spars anymore due to the trauma. He was being proactive about extending his career then. It’s paying off now and maybe potentially later.
Max is the best but let's be real he's an OLD 32, Goat has been fighting for a long time and his are fight fights
@@izakmysteryogoat? Y’all play with that word too much😂
Man I will never forget that moment in time had my boys here it was amazing and I had max all week 💯
This was one of the craziest finishes ever. Still can’t get over it
Gathji doest back down to a challenge.
It’s April..better pay Your Maxes! Da Max Collector!
“Blessed Man Forever” - Jarome Holloway
“Is that French?”
Max deserves all the respect but Gaethje too. He knew he was cooked in every round, and that last 10 seconds they awarded us with was absolutely epic. Holloway risked that entire fight on those last 10 seconds. Gaethje showed up. He went down with his honor. I’m glad I saw it live, I’ll never forget it.
Gosh I respect tf outta this guy, been a fan of his since his Connor loss and the man has been such a stud since. I like both guys but I needed a max win so bad becuz peeps were calling him washed
Speaking of Conner, he ain’t say NOTHING. No one wants the smoke
I was there in Boston when he lost to connor. Would have never thought he would turn out the have this kind of career all those years later.
He’s never been washed but, what makes him vulnerable to newer younger fighters is his fight plan it’s been the same for years
This guy is such a gem we really need to cherish every moment he's still in this octagon because when he's gone no one can replace him.
He 32! We have plenty of time relax
Max Holloway is the MAN! He has been the most exciting fighter to watch for years! Win or lose that dude is walking entertainment!
Him calling his wife John wick just shows their relationship. She is literally half of him. Love
He's King Max now. Don't even question, just implement it. The blessed BMF King.
Can’t be king if your not the best in the sport
@@Frank-mt2hfshut up Frank 🙄
KING MAX LFGG. TAKING THIS
@@Frank-mt2hfbest boxer in the ufc baby
Until Ilia destroys him like he did Volt lol
BADDEST man on the roster and a gentleman outside. LET'S GO CHAMP
Congratulations! I love how you remain respectful to all the fighters and giving them their flower!
Fighting to the end after two eyepokes, with broken nose its just crazy... i just hope Justin's brain will be fine sooon... hats off gentleman, that was EPIC!
This man had the hardest come up, was thrown to wolf as kid in ufc. Other warriors that happened to like Rory are gone, but this man continue to rack up the hall of fame victories.
Max is younger than Rory.
@@brandonamezquita4501I think he just means that generation of fighters
@@johnnyc0811 👍
It's easy to in love with a fighter like this! Legend!! And even better human being!! 🙏🥊🏆
What a fight . Justin is a warrior
Much respect to both fighters. Both put a lot on the line and the mutual respect is really cool to hear about.
One of the best fights ive seen. Ill never doubt Max again
Max I am a huge fan brother. Well deserved
Max is the first fighter to have every iteration of the belt. Interim, Champion, BMF, Old gen belt, current gen belt.
We have nothing but respect for you. This fight was awesome from press conference to after fight.
We got that Blessed Highlight 🙌
RESPECT!! Max has for Justin ...
How can you not love this warrior.
Blessed Man Forever!
One of the best ever to do it.
That’s an all time great fighter for you.
Those shorts will now be forever etched in History. He made those shorts Legendary with that performances on the biggest stage possible. He made that belt Legendary along with it.
This guy is a true stand up guy! Max will be what I will always teach my kids to be as a competitor. Max we love you brother and we are beyond blessed to be here now to watch you do what you do!!!
Character wise, yes, but please not style wise. Not everyone had the legendary Max chin. 😂
Not everyone can be like max bro 😂
Never saw Max sharper or quicker This weight filled his best frame
he could fight anyone topuria probably makes sense next but he can fight poirier islam oliveira mcgregor etc
It’ll be Illia but I’d like him to fight at 155 again. He looked GREAT tonight. He was legit bigger than Justin.
Justin was a good match up, but those other guys at 155 is fr scary
I love this guy and was honored to see this fight after just years and years and years of watching this sport and watching max’s whole career I was so excited for this fight and I’m glad it was more than expected
Blessed Man Forever 🙌
BLESSED
He definitely gave us a Blessed Highlight
This guy is a legend inside and outside of the ufc. Seen him on trainwrecks podcast once, not knowing absolutely nothing about him and just thought he was a great guy.
Absolute stud. How can you not love this dude
Everybody slept on Max. I Damn near lost all my money betting last night, but Max saved me 😂
It's not that people were sleeping on max, but after what Justin done to someone like el cucuy is scary, he changed tony in huge ways he has scary power, and I'll be honest, I thought if anyone can drop max Justin could because that man can bang, but max is a wonderful soul 🔥🔥🤷🏻♀️
Certified bangah hat is killah max
good dude and a helluva fighter def blessed
Living active legend!
I swear cuhz max is humble! Guy is a G
It’s insane how clean he looks
Freaking love Max Holloway. Warrior and great man. Much love and support to Max Holloway and his family.
I’m so glad his brain healed from the way he was at the beginning of Covid. He pushed through it, healed his body and mind, and now the mf is on top.
Legend
Real sportsmanship
Holloway seems like a genuinely good dude.
BMF BLESSED MAX FOREVER
FROM NOW ON, WE CALL HIM KING MAX
Max
Im polynesian brother i finally can eat😂😂😂😂
i can totally see max in a movie as a hawaiian gangster from the hood😂😂😂
If Gaethje had to lose to someone, I'd pick Max he is so genuine. They are both legends!!!
Blessed is the baddest dad as well!!!
A man must be tired after a fight but his brain is working 100 an hour and he's as eloquent as if he had a PhD.
The way Max told Gaethji to stand here and they traded and Max catches Gaejthi. One Word... PHENOMENAL 🔥
I acknowledge my tribal chief ☝🏽
The Roberto Duran of MMA.
Respect¡¡
The king has returned..
Tapuriya lets go
Does anyone know where I can buy the hat he is wearing?
Although I’m not Hawaiian, and haven’t been in Hawaii ever, IM PROUD TO BE HAWAIIAN 🌺
DA MAX COLLECTOR! IT’s April,Bettah pay Your Maxes! Hammah
#blessed baptized tf out of highlight 😅
Max vs Ilia, make it happen!
Doesn't make since 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. Volk bet Max twice and Volt got smoked by the Champ
Super Saiyan Max
“ I don’t know if he’s socially awkward” 💀💀
Spent half of the time giving props to Justin 💯
New face of ufc
Max kills me 😂 8:07
That's cool lol
he kill my boi 😭😭😭😭😭
I knew Max was gonna win by ko!!
max is classy.
suga v max would be fire
Not a mark on his face. Damn
I thought Max was a volume striker and had no power. I swear people told me that for years
The knockout was the result of his volume striking he has power just not one punch power
@@demontrehill7798perfect way to put it
I thought so too.
Bruh got at least 6 good fights , can’t wait to see him fight some of the people he lost to
Most people said he would get crushed… Jokes on them. Respect to Justin a real BMF too.
Top 10 all time
Both fighters
Crazy how Max losing to Volk made people equate that Max was done
At the end of the day. Its the end of the day? You know what i mean?
I tried to tell everyone max scored a 930 on punching machine same as gaethje ..
JUSTIN WOULD'VE FOR SURE GAVE MAX THAT 10 SECOND SHOT IF IT WHERE THE OTHER WAY AROUND
Ok bro Congrats. Lets talk more bout the eye pokes.
You will have alot of time to train .and your next opponent may be llia topuria .you should watch videos on him
I hope max beats tupuria and we get max vs volkanovski 4
He could go for the 45 and the 55 and be the first triple champ
Lila is dodging Max LOL he says he wants to fight for honor and have the BMF belt, but is trying to go for someone else whom doesn't hold it. Max is right as well, it's not too BMF like to not be ready anytime anywhere
he should fight conor
Well if that didnt count as a knockdown, then max has still never been knocked down lol
13:21 - 12:26 Super Necessary
Lessgoo🇬🇧
Bro Justin choked so hard wtf …. This is crazy
Justin gave everything he had for 5 full rounds, nose broken, maybe ribs broken. He got destroyed for 5 rounds, but did not back down one step. To say he choked is to give Max no credit, like saying Justin should have had an easy win but choked it away. On this day, Max was just a monster who beat Justin to the punch every time. Don't call Justin a choker, because you discredit both both Justin and Max by saying that, and they were both real warriors.
@@Ironfangzu Gatehje is my fav fighter to ever do it but he didn’t look good from the start tbh
@@Shallowballowdo you know why though? no hate at all, but it’s because of how good max looked all around. from the end of the first round it was a wrap, that broken nose paved the way for the 4-0 til the 5th
