When Dana White claimed that “UFC 300 is the best combat sports card ever assembled,” he was right. The fight card featured some of the best fighters in the division. However, the fight between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway stole the show. “Blessed” wanted to knock out the former champion even though he won four of the five rounds. He certainly knocked him out in the final seconds of the final round. After the dominant performance, John Morgan shared his report on X.
“Unsurprisingly, Max Holloway (@BlessedMMA) is the big winner in the latest rankings update following #UFC300,” the report reads. He moved up six spots to No. 8 in the pound-for-pound rankings, remains No. 2 on the featherweight rankings after the promotion, and debuts at No. 9 on the lightweight list. β
