One of the most disrespectful ass whoopings of all time. When your opponent has to remind you to remember your fundamentals in the middle of the fight, you’re gettin molly whopped.
Volkanovski’s children fighting
ULTRAAAAAA-COMBOOOOO
I was wondering for years how come Eddie Alvarez mouthpiece has such a weird shape, any thoughts?
Troll Lesb nunes 🤢🤮
You know the fight is old when there are people in attendance and nobody is wearing a face mask
Let's go max! The best is blessed baby!!
max is the best
A clinic
Max took T- City soul in this fight
Good reminder that there are levels to this game. It’s Volk and Holloway at the top, and maybe we’ll see Giga there soon.
Holloway after calling the round: “You can call me Mystic Max. Because I predict these tings”
This is when max solidified he wasn’t no fluke as the 145 pound champ
Still the best in the world
Joe said Max is the best featherweight of all time. So reactionary. He's just not.
MMA is garbage. The most undignified combat in history. What's wrong with just standing in front of another guy and using your fists. Knees, elbows, all pussy moves!
Max teaching Ortega how to fight in the middle of the scrap was an all-time moment in the UFC. I wish we had good audio because it should be celebrated by the UFC and one Max's sizzle reel. Max is the real CHAMP
He can win against Volkanovski, just need good game plan, not make jokes, put him on the ground a bit, here and there, it’s coming, the belt is on the way 🙏
One of the greatest performances ever
The combo at 2:37 is straight madness
Still ain’t VOLK! 💪🏽
One of the best FW fights in the UFC. Pure gold!
Jesus. It's like Max has magnets in his hands.
Giga is Coming!!!
Who makes the background music for the ufc dawg? The beat on this was crazy
This fight was a first glimpse of what Max in his prime looks like. When you can't stop his jab and rhythm he snowballs into a combination puncher and looks like a world beater. We now know from the Volkanovski and Rodriguez fights that its imperative you don't let him do this.
🔥👊🏼👊🏼
this is a striking clinic
I always forget how hard max punches bro looked like he was tapping ortega
Here you see more footwork then in all boxing matches even at dazn..
Diaz and holloway have such a Volume punching style, reminded me on superflyweight boxingchamps like chocolatito, el gallo..
Combined punches everywhere.. body head..
Footwork is very good, holloway never stood too wide.. i see holloway struggle with kicking guys more then with bjj..
Blessed is a real good all-around guy..
But maybe too tall and Lanky for some fighters with kicks and Solid wrestling
I still remember, when mid fight Holloway taught Ortega, how to block his punches😂.
I’ve never seen Holloway blink in a fight, he is a shark in bloody water
Max DESTROYED him
On a max Holloway binge rn? Anyone else? Most under appreciated
Gold
If max was stronger it would be game over for everyone
Max ain't letting him to shot for takedown
2:06 The T-City spinning elbow of chaos
You have to respect Ortega he fought even after all of that
