Twitter reacts to Max Holloway’s insane KO of Justin Gaethje

Holloway – Gaethje, Holloway wants to control outside, Gaethje needs to take away his jab, with his own or counter rts. & damage his wheels. #ufc300

Holloway circling away to the left. Respecting Gaethje’s power. Right there by Max

Justin continuing his leg kick attack. Max left hand lands on the Justin entry then a right hand to the body.

Max uppercut to the left hand then leg kick.

Max Holloway just messed up Justin Gaethje’s nose with that spinning kick to the face to end the round. Could be a game-changer. #UFC300

— Mike Bohn (@MikeBohn) April 14, 2024

Very respectable opening round for Max. Took a few leg kicks, but stuck him with the jab to the body and head. Moved well. Great start.

— Luke Thomas🏋️‍♀️ (@lthomasnews) April 14, 2024

What a fucking start for Max. Cleanly out boxing Gaethje, love the body jabs. That was heel to nose

— caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) April 14, 2024

BMF. Wow what a round for Holloway. He looks GOOOOD at 155 this time around #ufc300

— John Gooden (@JohnGoodenUK) April 14, 2024

Last three fights in a row Holloway is reminding people that it’s a bad idea to rush him #UFC300

Mfer has a broken nose and EACH eye gauged and is like, “I’m good, I’m good.” What a dog🔥 #UFC300

— Kay Hansen (@KayHansenMMA) April 14, 2024

Next eye poke has to be a poke needs to be a point.

— Henry Cejudo (@HenryCejudo) April 14, 2024

20-18 Holloway but he had better be careful with the eye pokes not to get a point deduction on the next one. #UFC300

— Alan Jouban (@AlanJouban) April 14, 2024

Gaethje now with both eyes poked and a busted nose, and there’s still 3 rounds to go against a dialed in Max Holloway? Existential hell.

— Chuck Mindenhall (@ChuckMindenhall) April 14, 2024

Max still looking great. Feels like Gaethje is gonna have to put him out to win this fight.

— Funky (@Benaskren) April 14, 2024

This fight makes zero sense. How is Holloway dominating the exchanges like this? Gaethje is stuck in mud and hasn’t landed much of anything of substance.

— Andreas Hale (@AndreasHale) April 14, 2024

Holloway seems to have really scouted Gaethje well. Knows right when he’s going to be there dropping his head into that spinning back kick. Clocked him with it at least three times now.

None of the BMF title fights so far have been particularly competitive. Pretty wild. #UFC300

— Mike Bohn (@MikeBohn) April 14, 2024

Justin Gaethje is one tough mofo. This fight, the people’s main event, could be getting that $300k bonus after they start SWANGIN in these championship rounds 🔥 #ufc300

— alexandra 🌈 (@alexwendlingX) April 14, 2024

Max looking like the next FW Champion. Super impressed with him tonight. #UFC300

— #OnAmission4Gold (@KelvinGastelum) April 14, 2024

Justin Gaethje needs to change his strategy and make it a dawg fight. Staying composed isn’t working

— Josh Thomson (@THEREALPUNK) April 14, 2024

If I’m Justin’s corner I tell him just kick the leg over and over he’s losing the boxing exchanges!

— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) April 14, 2024

Max is looking so crisp right now.. he’s such a hard puzzle to figure out – his volume, pace, and boxing in general is beautiful to watch

Gaethje is trying to utilize the leg kicks – will see if it can pay off in the later rounds to shut down Max’s movement.. Gaethje can not…

— Megan Anderson (@MeganAnderson) April 14, 2024

Geeze Max is so long and fast with his punches!! He is making Justin look slow.

— Funky (@Benaskren) April 14, 2024

Max Holloway is on point. He’s dialed in, very much like his championship days. #UFC300

— Danny Segura (@dannyseguratv) April 14, 2024

Justin Gaethje just knocked down Max Holloway – the first knockdown of Holloway’s career #UFC300

— Nolan King (@mma_kings) April 14, 2024

Best round of the fight so far for Gaethje. Finally got to Holloway with some right hands, dropped him ever so briefly, showing signs of life.

— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) April 14, 2024

Broooo Max Holloway. Speechless

— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) April 14, 2024

HOOOLLLLYYYY SHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Justin is my guy but we are still in the BLESSED ERA!!! That was WILD!!!#BMF #UFC300 #WOW

— Corey ‘Overtime’ Anderson (@CoreyA_MMA) April 14, 2024

Max Holloway’s (@BlessedMMA) finish at 4:59 R5 ties previous finishes by Demetrious Johnson and Yair Rodriguez for the latest finish in five-round UFC history. #UFC300
