Max Holloway Picks His Next Opponent After UFC 300 Win: Not Ilia Topuria or Alexander Volkanovski
Max Holloway, the BMF Champion, has chosen a former champion as his next opponent instead of Ilia Topuria or Alexander Volkanovski.
UFC 300 was an absolute stunner, with some of the best matches on the card. But the BMF Championship match between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway was the showstopper. Max Holloway unleashed the dog inside him and showcased his world-class striking against Justin Gaethje.
Blessed was already winning the match with more significant and clean strikes than Justin Gaethje. The last 10 seconds of the fight are now cemented as one of the greatest endings of all time.
In the last ten seconds of the fifth round, Max Holloway summoned Justin Gaethje for a dogfight. Both fighters started to unload blind strikes at each other, and one of Holloway's punches clipped Justin Gaethje's face.
The punch sent Justin into the shadow realms, and he was knocked out in the last two seconds of the fifth round. The crowd went wild after witnessing one of the best endings in UFC history, and Max Holloway defined the true meaning of BMF champion.
KHON2 News recently interviewed Max Holloway. The interviewer asked Max Holloway if he would have the power to book matches and who he would pick next as his opponent after his fantastic victory against Justin Gaethje.
Holloway expressed, "It'd be hard not to say, with it finally getting announced that he's actually fighting, Conor McGregor 2 to run it back. That's the hugest fight. It's looking like it's gonna be Topuria next."
