Reactions to Max Holloway's UFC 300 knockout

In beating Gaethje, Holloway dethroned him as the 'BMF' champion of the UFC. He broke his foe's nose with a spinning back-kick early in the bout, taking advantage of Gaethje's habit of dipping his head low during exchanges. By intercepting him with a kick, Holloway severely compromised him.

He spent the remainder of the fight in the driver's seat, stunning Gaethje at several points before knocking him out at the very last second to tie the promotional record for its latest-ever knockout.

Max Holloway is the only undisputed UFC champion, former or otherwise, to hold the 'BMF' belt

Given its status as a symbolic championship, the 'BMF' title, despite all the criticism it has received, is an extremely rare honor. Thus far, it has only ever been held by three men, only one of whom is a former undisputed UFC champion: Max Holloway. The Hawaiian previously held the undisputed UFC featherweight title.

However, undisputed championship status has eluded the 'BMF' title's past owners. Justin Gaethje, who 'Blessed' beat for the belt, is a former interim lightweight champion. Meanwhile, Jorge Masvidal, the original BMF titleholder, has never been a champion, interim or otherwise.
