UFC 300 Results: Max Holloway's Buzzer-Beater KO Goes Viral.

Max Holloway's epic KO win over Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 was a historic moment, solidifying his status as a top contender.

I've been a fan of MMA for over three decades and have been covering the sport for more than ten years. In all my years of watching and analyzing fights, I have never witnessed anything quite like Max Holloway's knockout victory over Justin Gaethje in the BMF title fight at UFC 300 on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

If you happened to miss the fight, I highly recommend checking out the crowd-view video shared by The Athletic or the post from FanDuel Sportsbook capturing the electrifying moment. These clips only scratch the surface of the greatness displayed by Holloway that night.

Holloway completely dominated Gaethje throughout the fight, with the exception of being dropped for the first time in his career in the fourth round by a powerful overhand right. Despite this setback, Holloway was well on his way to a comfortable unanimous decision victory before securing the explosive KO with just one second left in the final round.

Even if the fight had gone the distance, it's likely that Holloway would have emerged victorious with scorecards reading 49-46x2 and 48-47. What's truly remarkable is that Holloway didn't need to engage in the BMF nature of the fight to secure the win, making his decision to go for the finish even more impressive.

The reactions from fellow MMA fighters and members of the UFC community only further emphasize the magnitude of Holloway's achievement. Gaethje, a former interim lightweight champion known for his toughness and skill, was no match for Holloway's brilliance in the octagon.

Despite some setbacks in his previous fights against Alexander Volkanovski, Holloway proved that he is still a force to be reckoned with in the lightweight division. His performance at UFC 300 may go down as one of the most memorable moments in the history of the sport.

As we look ahead, Holloway's future in the UFC remains bright. Whether he decides to stay at 155 pounds and challenge for the title or drop back down to 145 pounds to reclaim his former championship, one thing is certain - Max Holloway's legacy as one of the greatest fighters in MMA history is secure.
