Fans in the MMA community are overjoyed as the UFC revealed unseen footage from the Max Holloway vs. Justin Gaethje fight earlier this year. Everyone praised the UFC video production team for their amazing work and expressed their admiration for them.
Holloway moved up to the lightweight division to challenge Gaethje for the BMF title on April 14 at the historic UFC 300 PPV event, and their fight produced one of the most dramatic finishes in mixed martial arts history.
Despite being ahead on the scoreboard, 'Blessed' urged Gaethje to square off in the middle of the octagon during the dying seconds of the last round. With only one second remaining, the exchange culminated in a knockout, sending the 36-year-old crashing to the canvas.
In order to provide MMA fans a glimpse of what was happening at the arena, UFC recently posted an exclusive video of the Holloway vs. Gaethje fight on its YouTube page.

Renato Moicano calls out Max Holloway for the BMF title
Following his loss to Ilia Topuria, Max Holloway announced his permanent move to the lightweight division in a video posted on his YouTube channel last month.
In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Renato Moicano expressed his desire to challenge Holloway for the BMF belt, saying:
''Yeah 100%, I would love to do that especially Max Holloway now says he’s done at 145. If he really wants to be a 155’er, I think that would be an awesome fight, especially because that’s going to put me on [track for a title shot]. 100 percent if you beat Max Holloway, you’re fighting for the title. It’s a fight that I would be willing to take 100 percent.”
