The UFC 300, which took place in Las Vegas on Wednesday, was hailed as the "greatest event ever." Prior to the competition, critics said the UFC 300 was a "poor card" and "no superstar." However, Max Holloway (32) of the U.S., who has become the new Badest Mo********r (BMF) champion, has become a "superstar" through the competition. Former featherweight champion Holloway upgraded his weight to face top lightweight fighter Justin Gaichi (35) of the U.S. Unexpectedly, he dominated Gaich throughout the fifth round. 토토사이트링크

At a time when Holloway could win by a perfect decision, he tried his best to make a great game. He suggested a slugfest while giving up the guard with 10 seconds left in the fifth round. Keich is the strongest hard puncher in lightweight division.

However, Holloway fought with risk. He fainted and KO won just one second before the game ended. He looked like a buzzer-beater in a basketball game. He was even praised as the toughest and hottest KO win in the 31-year history of the UFC.

Holloway gained a lot from his fantastic KO win. In addition to the fees, he also received two bonuses: "KO of the Night" and "Performance of the Night." UFC President Dana White declared, "We will increase our bonus money from 50,000 U.S. dollars to 300,000 dollars." Through this year\'s event, Holloway has swept away more than 800 million won in bonuses in addition to fees.

For Holloway, the biggest income is that he can choose the opponent he wants. Right now, Holloway\'s name began to rise and fall in all the big matches of featherweight and lightweight that UFC is pushing for.

In an interview with Octagon, Holloway declared that he would fight current featherweight champion Ilia Topuria (27) of Spain. In February, Topuria silenced Alexander Volkanovski (35) of Australia, who was the "invincible champion" at UFC 298, with a knockout in the second round and became the new champion.

In the past, Holloway and Volkanovski were defeated in all three competitions. Despite the controversy over the decision in the first and second competitions, he failed to defeat Volkanovski for 75 minutes in three matches anyway. However, Topuria put him to sleep after just eight minutes.

The second choice is lightweight champion Islamic Makachev of Russia. After the competition, Holloway ranked ninth in the lightweight division. Of course, Arman Sarukyan (27) of Armenia and Russia, who beat Charles Oliveira (34) of Brazil to rank No. 1 in the UFC 300, is a strong contender for the title. However, Sarukyan cannot beat Holloway in terms of popularity.

Holloway could draw a bigger picture. It is his title match of BMF against Conor McGregor of Ireland. Holloway lost by decision in August 2013 when he fought with McGregor. Both players were rookies back then, but they are now superstars dominating the UFC. If the story of revenge is added, the fight between the two is highly likely to become a box office hit in the history of the UFC. "I hope we have a chance to share the Octagon with McGregor once again," Holloway said on a local television in Hawaii. "I think that will be the biggest topic of conversation."

All three scenarios have problems to be solved. Volkanovski\'s presence is a stumbling block in the featherweight title match. It doesn\'t make sense for Holloway to have a chance to challenge first, beating Volkanovski, the greatest champion in featherweight history.

It is also awkward to run to Makachev. The lightweight division has many challengers including Sarukyan, Oliveira, and Dustin Poirier of the U.S. There is not enough justification for Holloway to immediately compete for the lightweight title.

Fans will most likely want to see him play a match against McGregor. McGregor will face off against Michael Chandler (37) of the U.S. at UFC 303 on June 29 in Las Vegas. McGregor\'s last victory at Octagon was in January 2020 against Donald Cerrone (41) of the U.S. at UFC 246. He fought against Poirier twice in 2021, but lost both. Since then, he has engaged in various activities including personal business and movie shooting.

Holloway is enjoying the joy of winning right now. He is standing at an intersection with many attractive futures. There will surely be a big change in UFC depending on what path he chooses.
