Max Holloway is 600k richer after UFC 300.
With the BMF title on the line in a five round bout, defending champion Justin Gaethje went to war with Max Holloway at the largest event in UFC history. At the end of the first round, Holloway would land a spin kick that broke Gaethje's nose early on, and would control the fight apart from suffering the first knockdown of his UFC career in the fourth round.
In the fifth and final round, as the clock wound down to around ten seconds, Max Holloway invited Gaethje to the centre of the cage and the two swung to the buzzer, with Holloway landing a huge right hand on the button, knocking Gaethje out cold at 4:59 of the fifth round.
