Former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway was the talk of the town this weekend in the world of mixed martial arts. Fans were left stunned by Holloway's performance against BMF Champion Justin Gaethje at the UFC 300 pay-per-view.

Holloway, a former lower-weight featherweight champion, was offered an opportunity to face UFC BMF champion Justin Gaethje at UFC 300, and he accepted the fight. Going into the bout, Holloway was the underdog, and fans and experts believed he would be an easy task for Gaethje.

However, Max Holloway demonstrated to UFC fans what a true BMF looks like after he struck down the exceptional striker himself, Justin Gaethje. Holloway was already winning the fight with more significant strikes than Gaethje.

The ending of the match will be forever etched in memory and is now cemented as one of the best match endings in UFC history. In the last 10 seconds of the fight, Holloway asked Gaethje to come to the center of the octagon and demanded a dogfight, willing to risk his easy win. 

In the final 2 seconds, Max Holloway's punch connected flush on Justin Gaethje's face, knocking him out in the previous second. This knockout could be one of the wildest KOs in mixed martial arts history.
