@@TheReaI0ne what do you mean? You can see it RIGHT there, he is literally putting Ortega's hands into the right direction while talking to him and demonstrating a very slow punch.
Rodriquez rocked the shit out of him. Max and Volk landed in volume and for longer (and won obviously) but ortega wouldn't be able to last long standing with Yair.
@@joshywhvick bjj only works if you can successfully take someone down. Max has amazing take down defense and Volk has a good wrestling background. Brian needed to learn some effective wrestling take downs or judo throws to make his bjj more effective but he never did that.
@@webobin5988 you may admire it, but no fighter should aspire to be known for those. It means less success and much more brain damage. Only idiots aim for such a result.
Bcuz right then Max landing wasn’t even noteworthy anymore, every punch he landed. Ortega putting up a fight of his own was actually worth mentioning. Lol Just a guess.
It's wild because you have an eagle eye view, he's cage side with obstacles in his way that you don't have. He's also a human prone to error and an older drug addled man, his commentary is going to go down hill at some point if it hasn't already. .
I really don't know who is more biased, you or Joe. Knowing that Max doesn't need any kind of uplifting from the commentary team, I would say Joe was absolutely unbiased throughout the fight.
17:25 is one of the most iconic and hilarious Holloway moments ever... he stops Ortega mid fight from fighting to give him tips on how to block... it takes Ortega a few sec to realize what's going on and then snap out of it. this and "I'm the best boxer in the UFC!!!" are two of the mind blowing moments ever to happen in the octagon... except for Diaz laying down mid fight vs Anderson Silva.
Respect for Holloway for being so sportsmanlike all match long. Many of those guys are just looking to hurt people but Holloway seems one of the few that is participating in an actual sport.
Idk how I ever thought Max would lose to Justin. I still had early career max in my head. This guy is so new and improved it is unreal. He’s done nothing but get better. A true student of the game. Absolute warrior.
This was the one and only fight my wife ever pleaded w the ref thru the tv to plz stop the fight. Lol She was worried about that mans face getting unprettied. 😆
Everybody (including myself) only recalls this due to the amount of strikes and how amazingly Holloway fought. I'm taking nothing away from him for that, but we need to gives more props to Ortega, not only for taking those shots but let's be real this wasn't a totally one-sided fight, he had some really good moments and had Max in real trouble at one point in the 3rd, he has such tremendous toughness and so much heart.
The third round was Ortega's best round, no doubt about that. However he had Max in trouble for how long, 5 seconds? He landed a few good hits that didn't faze Holloway that much neither and then he landed a takedown, with Max getting up straight away. I wouldn't say he had Max in real trouble here
People always talk like Holloway dominated Ortega. But this was a back and forth and a fantastic fight. It wasn't this one sided beat down that people seem to remember.
Max was still winning through 3 and definitely turned into a one sided beat down and if they didn’t stop it it would’ve only gotten worse for Ortega . He should’ve accepted that opportunity to tap before it got real bad. You know that was an act of mercy.
Ortega put up enough of a fight (especially in round three) to avoid saying he got dominated. Just 'cause he got overwhelmed in the end doesn't mean it was a clinic
I love how most of max Holloway’s fights take place right in the centre of the ring. The realest, none of that take you down and maul shit, he got straight hands. Super huge respect for max and he was pretty underrated still before 300 at least
Talk about a masterclass. Max has the 2 most impressive wins I've seen at featherweight. This fight and what he did to Calvin Kattar will always be 2 of the cleanest wins ever
Respect on both Max for taking a moment to teach him instead of just demolishing him, and Ortega for being humble and taking instruction to learn instead of having an ego. Well done guys! 💪🏽
Holloway has excellent sportsmanship. A real man. A master. Master's don't have to gloat. They just get the job done and show respect, because ultimately it's a reflection of their own self-respect.
Ortega for the next title shot against Topuria. The cycle of the eagle must continue. Have a lay off, come back and win one fight, take a life changing amount of damage from the current champion, repeat. First Max, then Volk and now let's make it Topuria.
Max definitely gets his deserved praise but we really need to start putting him up there with the likes of Jon Jones and GSP. This guy is only getting better
I love that this Saturday there is so many fights I want both guys to win in many fights. It’s going to be a historic night, Buncha legends. May the best man win 💪🏽
Holloway tiene algodón en los puños. Cuando se enfrente a Topuria va a saber lo que es un puño pesado, va a tener pesadillas con el hispano/georgiano un año.....
Qué barbaros los 2 que corazón Holloway tiene la quijada de sean pean y Ortega no lo conocía mucho pero que buen peleador es su estilo es de lo mejor felicidades a los 2 👊😎
This was an example of being him. Brian was killin everyone and did really well for a lot of this fight but Max just showed again that he is the best boxer in UFC. Relentless pressure and TCity just couldn’t keep up as the fight went long.
Timing, yes....but it is in Max's usage of angles that the true magick takes place.....(not to mention speed, and volume, combined with incredible cardio.... Attributes!! Max respect, Max "Blessed" Holloway
Brian was on a tear at this moment and max completely schooled him. You could argue one of max’s best performances of his career.
….Argue? What’s there to argue? Fuckin’ look at it lmao
I don’t think anyone would argue that it isn’t? 😭
Yeah Max seems to do that doesn't he?
The Kattar fight might top this. Broke a dozen records, arguably the most dominant decision win in all of UFC history.
@@akbarabduljalil8390This was the Kattar fight before the Kattar fight
Fighting while training another fighter how to block while fighting is crazy
Pretty sure he is the only one ever to do that? 😂 Max deserves Hall Of Fame induction..
@@thejaded Max so good but also such a punk love hate relationship
That's not what he was doing, don't believe everything you see on TikTok
@@thejadedhe was still getting beat on you act like it was an easy fight 😂

Holloway is going to surprise everybody.
by getting knocked out for the first time
Uhhh. Best boxer in ufc baby
I agree bro for waianae he's going to shock the world everyone is counting him out mark my words gaethje underestimate max
@@spadeace613 max is a lot bigger now and faster and more cardio better boxer.
@@spadeace613seans ddps son also no chin gaethje gets slept
In the words of Joe Rogan, "I think you'd be surprised"
Max is such a nice guy to teach Ortega how to block punches while simultaneously beating him up
Yahushua HaMashiach is the Truth
Max’s footwork is super underrated, he always glides around the octagon and never stumbles over his punches 🔥
17:28 when Max shows him how to block shots.
The moment I was looking for. Thank you.
My favorite moment of all entertainment
The UFC fighter with the most iconic fighting moments.
Jerome moment
Jajajajaja the best part ever
Damage which Ortega took from Max, Volk and Rodrigeuz is insane
That and he has been plagued with many injuries thru out his career very unlucky
Rodriquez rocked the shit out of him. Max and Volk landed in volume and for longer (and won obviously) but ortega wouldn't be able to last long standing with Yair.
Why doesn’t he utilise his BJJ more. Not good for longevity
@@joshywhvick bjj only works if you can successfully take someone down. Max has amazing take down defense and Volk has a good wrestling background. Brian needed to learn some effective wrestling take downs or judo throws to make his bjj more effective but he never did that.

You know you’re getting effed up when the commentary starts bring up your “heart” and not your fighting skills.
Exactly. Heart and toughness are the worst characteristics to have, because they are earned through getting wrecked.
@@bryangan2224 Heart and toughness are amazing qualities for a fighter, even if they are earned thru getting "wrecked"

@@bryangan2224same when you're complimented for having a chin, it's a bad sign if you're absorbing a lot of punches
@@bryangan2224I think you meant to type worst ones to show not to have, you’d rather just be finished if you’re losing? 💀
Holloway lands ten punches. Joe Rogan silent. One punch from Ortega… Joe Rogan “ohhhh”
Probably because at this time Max always looked unstoppable against his opponents so when someone lands on him it’s really suprising
@@yardtoot4780joe does have a sus love for jiujitsu guys, let us not forget how balls deep he was on Ryan hall. That man is bias AF
Bcuz right then Max landing wasn’t even noteworthy anymore, every punch he landed. Ortega putting up a fight of his own was actually worth mentioning. Lol Just a guess.
@@jonathanvaldez6565 like when Ryan was vsing Ilia lol Joe was doing the splits on Ryan there!
We used to seeing Holloway do that but when Ortega landed a few good shots he was surprised that’s why he reacted he’s not biased against max at all
Max's Coach: "Max! Don't fck around--"
Max was not fcking around.
Coach: "Max! Don't fuck around."
Ortega: "He fucked around too much. I'm done. I'm gonna go practice those blocks Max just taught me now. Byeeee."
This fight deserves way more respect and love, definitely a fight to remember for years
it's a one sided beating
ortegas corner failed him. Towel should have been thrown earlier
Max’s natural movement is a thing of beauty.
Go Max !!!
The amount of times Joe says “he hurt him there” “he is wobbled” when max is literally just moving is wild to me
😂Brian will take 10 shots unanswered and rogan will be like “he’s looking for a takedown”
It's wild because you have an eagle eye view, he's cage side with obstacles in his way that you don't have. He's also a human prone to error and an older drug addled man, his commentary is going to go down hill at some point if it hasn't already. .
I really don't know who is more biased, you or Joe. Knowing that Max doesn't need any kind of uplifting from the commentary team, I would say Joe was absolutely unbiased throughout the fight.

coming back to this after Max's win against Justin. He is a different breed for sure
Streets will never forget the disrespect when Max tried to teach Brian how to block during the fight
they hyped ortega like he was the next big thing for sure.
The disrespect was that somehow Ortega was the favorite for this fight lol
I love Holloway's way of resealiance!!
Might be the best FW bout of all time. Certainly the most entertaining. Love both of these fighters
THE BEST IS BLESSED. WHO CHOSE HOLLOWAY TO DESTROY GAETHJE WITH ME?!
you might be nostradamus, because destroy he did
Max has the best chin in MMA. Dude is an absolute savage and one of my all-time favourites.
there is no WAY this was 6 years ago
😂
Crazy
Great fight. Out skilled by Holloway, Ortega more than established his presence and showed massive heart.
Always loved watching Max fight just so graceful

Watching Holloway dismantle Ortega for the 5th time this week. An absolute clinic.

To be the best u gotta beat the best, and the best is blessed
max showed what it means to be a true champion
I always love that UFC sound at 0:00 of these videos.
Respect on both Max for taking a moment to teach him instead of just demolishing him, and Ortega for being humble and taking instruction to learn instead of having an ego. Well done guys! 💪🏽
You know you fucked up when your opponent starts teaching you how to block punches
His fluidity in everything he does is unmatched. My FW GOAT is blessed
Hand speed and timing is everything in MMA
Holloway teaching Ortega how to block punches mid-fight will always be one of my favourite moments
Great Sportsman! Always teaching each other shows the true spirit of them❤
Warriors, Absolute warriors.
Holloway has excellent sportsmanship. A real man. A master. Master's don't have to gloat. They just get the job done and show respect, because ultimately it's a reflection of their own self-respect.
This and the Kattar fight are just Master class.. don't get me started on that BMF ko! That was legendary!
The endurance of Hollowayis amazing for age he still strong as hell love it all these guys are on another level
He just turned 27yrs old b4 this fight and Ortega is 9 months older than him. 27 is a prime fighting age. What are you on about? Sheesh 😏
Holloway's timing is amazing!
What a fight and what a respect.
Max is the man. BMF
Max is insane. He just punches and dodges so fast!
Ortega for the next title shot against Topuria. The cycle of the eagle must continue. Have a lay off, come back and win one fight, take a life changing amount of damage from the current champion, repeat. First Max, then Volk and now let's make it Topuria.
B4 that I think it should be Holloway vs Ortega 2 as the next challenger if volk dosent fight
😂
Ortega has to break the beak 😂
I'm a fan watching MMA since inception...I am mesmerized by his movement, rhythm and execution. Nobody like him.
he also carries so much more power than he looks like he would-
That was probably the most entertaining fight ive seen. Kudos on both sides, was a brawl.
beatdown*
Max teaching Brian how to fight in front of a blood thirsty audience is top entertainment you wouldn't expect you needed.
Champions come and go but the best featherweight ever remains Max Holloway.
Im a simple man... i see this fight. I click. Ive watched this more than any fight ever.
I love Max and Justin! This fight is going to be brutal!!!!! Not betting on either one but my heart is going to break for the looser!
Ortega is so tough, props to his warrior heart...
Best 4 rounds that I’ve ever watched
This was an absolute banger, Holloway showed levels that night
One of my favorite matches! And obviously Max's win over Gathje was unbelievable
Crazy how much better Max has gotten since this fight. And this was a GOOD Max Holloway.
much bigger and more powerful now
Max definitely gets his deserved praise but we really need to start putting him up there with the likes of Jon Jones and GSP. This guy is only getting better
dropping at 3pm is crazy so hyped for Max's his next fight
Love that in-fight tutorial @17:28
Insanely good fight. Both guys ate big shots.
Respect Ortega

He has gotta be the most entertaining ufc fighter of all time
That was awesome when he basically stopped fighting and was teaching his opponent how to block his punches. Well played Sir.
What a fight
I miss Yves Lavigne as a ref - he was great - what happened to him?? We still have Jason Herzog, though, he's the current best standard for reffing. 👍
Wasn’t he the one who tried to raise the fighters hand after their elbow snapped after a crazy late stoppage

One of the best the UFC has put out, in league with the likes of the Gaethje vs Chandler.
Watching Maximum Holloway fight is like hearing Mozart compose.
I’ve never hated a fight more than I hate Max Vs Justin. No matter who wins I lose.
Saying this because they’re both my favorites btw
