Former undisputed featherweight champion, Max Holloway has now minted himself as the new symbolic BMF titleholder tonight on the main card of UFC 300 — turning in one of the most outrageous stoppages in Octagon history, face planting champion, Justin Gaethje with a buzzer-beating knockout in the final round of their anticipated clash.
Holloway, a dominant former undisputed featherweight champion, turned in a blistering striking performance tonight in his main card clash against symbolic BMF titleholder, Gaethje — himself snatching the title with a stunning win against the Arizona native.
Outstriking the Trevor Wittman trainee tonight in their main card fight, Max Holloway spun with mere seconds left in the first round — breaking Gaethje’s nose with a spinning back-kick, stumbling the former interim champion.
And despite suffering his first-ever knockdown in the fourth round of his fight with Gaethje — in a bout the Hawaiian striking ace was winning — four rounds to nil, called for Gaethje to step into the center of the Octagon with him to stand and trade.
With a single second remaining in their five round fight, Holloway connected with a huge right hook counter in the pocket with himself and Gaethje swinging, sending the BMF gold holder face down to the canvas, landing himself the symbolic title — with Hall of Fame star and inaugural heavyweight kingpin, Mark Coleman strapping the belt on Holloway to boot.
Following his monumental title win, Max Holloway called for a lightweight title fight with Islam Makhachev, as well as a featherweight championship showdown against newly crowned gold holder, Ilia Topuria.

Justin Gaethje has no interest in listening to anything Jorge Masvidal has to say — particularly when it comes to the BMF title.
On Saturday night (April 13), Gaethje will return to the Octagon as part of a loaded UFC 300 card in Las Vegas. There, the UFC’s baddest motherf*cker will put his bragging rights belt on the line against Dana White’s all-time favorite featherweight, Max Holloway.
Upon hearing news of the clash between Gaethje and Holloway, Masvidal — the promotion’s first-ever BMF titleholder — suggested that the UFC book a unification match of sorts between himself and Gaethje. When ‘The Highlight’ promptly shot down the idea, ‘Gamebred’ snapped back, threatening to break the lightweight’s orbital.
“If you put BMF against BMF, if you put me against Gaethje in there, I would break his f*cking eye orbital, and I would f*cking chop him up,” Masvidal said in an exclusive interview with LowKick MMA.

Earlier this week, UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier caught up with Gaethje ahead of his BMF title tilt with Holloway. Asked about Masvidal’s comments, ‘The Highlight’ didn’t hold anything back in his response.
“The only orbital he got broken is his against Kamaru [Usman] and I loved to see it,” Gaethje said. “He f*cking cheap-shotted Colby Covington and didn’t break his orbital.”
“Nothing was more special than seeing all that mist come off his face when f*cking Kamaru put a hole through it,” he added.
Masvidal won the BMF belt at UFC 244, defeating Nate Diaz via a doctor’s stoppage TKO following the third round. ‘Gamebred’ would go on to lose his next four fights before exiting the promotion to pursue a career in boxing.
