M\ufeffax Holloway<\/a> has claimed the BMF Title with one of the most insane knockouts in UFC<\/a> history, flooring Justin Gaethje<\/a> with just one second remaining in their five-round fight.<\/p>\n

One of the all-time greats of the sport, Holloway was challenging Gaethje for the UFC's prize to determine the 'baddest mother \ufefff—-r' inside the octagon.<\/p>\n

Holloway dictated terms throughout the 25 minutes, leaving Gaethje bloodied as he looked to be closing in on a decision victory.<\/p>\n

However, with 10 seconds left on the clock in the final round, Holloway laid out the challenge to his rival to throw hands and give the fans a moment to remember – and that's exactly what the Hawaiian star produced.<\/p>\n

With one second left, Holloway landed a brutal right hand and knocked out Gaethje cold, who dropped to the canvas as the crowd erupted.<\/p>\n

"He forces it, points at the ground and they just decide to wing it and then Max catches him … just slept him" Joe Rogan said on commentary. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"This was a fight where everybody thought Max was going to be outdone.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"That is the greatest knockout of all time."<\/p>\n

Social media went berserk in reaction to Holloway's stunning knockout, with the former featherweight champion moving up in weight to take down one of UFC's toughest men.\ufeff<\/p>\n

After the fight, Holloway celebrated with his team as UFC legend Mark Coleman<\/a> put the belt around his waist, before calling out champions Ilia Topuria and Islam Makhachev. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"Give it up to Gaethje, he is a real BMF – he had so much to lose and nothing to gain from this fight," Holloway said.<\/p>\n

"[Topuria] is running away from the bull at 145 – sign the damn contract. And even Islam, he is famous for defending against 145ers, right? I'm him, I'm right here.<\/p>\n

"Any weight, I'm a gladiator – I don't care who is next, put a title on the line."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
