    It's the best KO I've ever seen. You're talking about a suspected underdog dominating most of the rounds against one of the divisions most prolific strikers. It was entertaining from start to finish. Then, in the last 10 seconds the underdog calls out for a all out war that could cost him the match and the underdog wins, knocks him out with one second on the clock. Dana White said it best in the post fight conference when he said "That's movie shit." This isn't something you ever expect to see in real life. But Max Holloway blessed us.

      The fact that Max was dominating doesn't help make it the best KO ever, in my opinion. It would have been even greater if he was losing the fight and then pulled it off at the last second. Personally, I thought YaIr Rodriguez KOing The Korean Zombie was better for that reason - he was losing the fight (I think) and it was a crazy reverse elbow at the last second. Like something out of The Matrix.

    I think it’s honestly the best. Legit the best ending for a bmf championship. Max was a bad underdog. Went up a weight class. Fought the most violent guy. Was dominating the whole fight. And still got a last second brutal ko when he could’ve just walked around for the last 10 seconds. AND on the biggest card in the history of the ufc. All the context behind it makes it perfect imo

    It's my favourite. A "new" and "legendary" title...

      He should of never been an underdog. Max is much bigger than Justin. Justin doesn't cut much weight if any to make lightweight. Max was gonna fight Khabib on short notice but couldn't cut weight to make lightweight. So the weight difference is a non factor in making Max an underdog. Also, Max has had much more success in the UFC and has taken less damage. The bookies raked up on this fight.

      @@xxmimino Provide more context for your argument, give us at least your top 15 so we have something to compare it to. Your ether ghost is hard to track down, it's pure ethos and thus unrelated to anyone but you. Recent syndrome is a real thing, but this fight and it's context and set up make it very compelling.
      When you have a person who's winning and can coast and puts them self in the worst possible chance of victory and gives their opponent an opening, that is just in efficient and bad math. I always think of when the black beast beat up that poor Russian man who dominated the whole fight, had he just played it safe he would not have lost, likely cost himself a tittle shot.
      It was 1 second left and he slept a guy who doesn't get slept often, had a TKO loss and one KO loss prior to this fight.
      He was the bigger guy, with more KO power and a track record for putting people to sleep.
      Betting underdog, the odds makers are not trying to lose money.
      Also i'm not even suggesting your wrong per say, i'm saying your lazy attempt at a superficial comment that has nothing behind it makes people want to not believe you on your laziness alone. As far as top KO's go, i have rumble having a few that are pretty high on my own personal list, but I can actually go into the ones that he does and why they rank so far ahead for me.

      For me, the best part was he didn't need to but becuase he deserves to have the BMG shot because he does this. Halloway has done this many times before calling dudes to the center l, against good and bad strikers cause he's a killer. Also he didn't need to, he was decisively winning but knew what the people wanted in this fight. Personally I think BMF should go until there's a knockout. Nosubmissions, either he or the ither gets knocked, then you will get some of the greatest fights in history.

      Phone booths are the most badass thing you can call for in the UFC, whether Max calls for it every time or not. Alex getting a KO on a dude everyone knew he’d beat, after waving off Herb (because Hill hit his groin guard), is not as badass- or better than Max’s.

Any other fighter wouldve cruised to the W being up 3-1, but he chose to scrap with the most dangerous man in the division and came out with the surprise KO on the very last punch of the war. Its everything leading to the KO that makes it so spectacular and puts it above the rest.

    Conor KO on Aldo still tops it. If you want to talk technique or fan favorites you can bring in the Etim KO or Ngannou/Overeem or the H-bomb dropped on Bisping or maybe something from Wonderboy, but to be the greatest the moment has to match the KO and the pressure needs to match it as well. Holloway beats all of those imo based on the moment and the pressure because this was a big fight, but it doesn't compare to the months of smack talk back and forth between Conor and Aldo and the pressure that was on Conor to live up to the hype he created for himself.

      Nah, Max cleaned out his division and only ever lost on paper to the judges against the champ. Then he moves up to 155 and knocks out the hardest hitter in the division. This is easily one of the craziest KO outcomes and I had a lot of money on Gaethje to win. I respect your comparisons about Bisping versus Hendo, but Bisping was never a world class spider until later in his career. Justin and Max have a crazy résumé. Max for how long he’s been fighting and all he did at a young age in Gaethje for the amount of competition, he faced in his shorter tenure in the UFC,
