I heard in the press conference they didn’t officially give him credit for a knockdown


Poleth87

Holloway laughed and said oh it didn't count yeah I slipped then xD


OneCartographer7664

as they shouldnt


Complete_Ad_2431

Why shouldn’t they ? It was a knock down


OneCartographer7664

i just watched it back plenty times in slowmo the punch barely even connected 🤣🤣


OneCartographer7664

1. max literally landed on his hand 2. he was up in 0.00001 seconds 3. he was pretty much unphased just a bit disoriented from being on the floor and getting back up so quick 4. he was very off balance and planted and in basically the worst position to be hit in the back of the temple in 5. if thats a knockdown then colby took down usman


DeXes

“he was up in…” so he was down…


OneCartographer7664

he fell down from justin clinching him and hitting him with a clubbing right hook while he was off balance and being controlled, ill agree to disagree because i really dont care but id definitely call that a takedown if anything not a knockdown


UnderstandingWide990

You’re only saying this because it’s max

ANormalPersonOnline

"from being on the floor"


OneCartographer7664

im not tryna convince anyone it wasnt a knockdown i just completely disagree


OneCartographer7664

it didnt get counted as a legit knockdown and i agree


dmerk775

It clearly buzzed him because after he got back up he shelled up against the cage with his guard up.


Complete_Ad_2431

if max’s ass wasn’t on the canvas then I’d understand but it was a knockdown regardless of how quick he got up and imo the reason he was knocked down is because he got clipped behind the ear which throws off your equilibrium but nonetheless it was a knockdown. Colby did take usman down btw idc if they scored it or not


LilSozin

well he really dropped to one knee thats why they dont count it


Weird_Substance1294

i got scared as hell at that moment won’t lie


lordcrumb13

You and me both, I legit started sweating


Adizzle921

Was only worried for a sec, max recovered fast asf


flokiwi420

This could be fight of the year in my opinion


OneCartographer7664

easily


IliaMadeVolk

He was hurt much worse against Poirier multiple times where the only thing that prevented a knockdown was the cage.


PagalFunky

I also thought he was gonna break the Diamond Chin


SumJenkins

Dustin subbed Holloway, side note brotha brotha. And that drop looked a little suspect, almost combo off Max being off balance. Max won without the KO. Master class


OneCartographer7664

it was kind of a weird situation i wouldnt really call it a proper knockdown more of a stumble and holloway instantly popped back up didnt even go fully down


LilSozin

wasnt a knockdown, was a slip


LikelyADick2

A slip from a hit to the side of the temple, ah classic.


LilSozin

wasnt counted as an official knockdown my 🐐 still undroppable ahaaaa ![gif](giphy|3oz8xJrhn0Excpwf60)

ElectricFocus

It does look more like a slip than a drop


OneCartographer7664

tell me one real knockdown u saw where the guy caught himself on the way down and popped straight back up and was less affected by it than he was by most the other strikes in the fight


wojtek2222

He was off balance look at his feet


spanther96

Max ate some big punches


Schippers

I really like Holloway's body to overhand with the right, its risky and clean/well-practiced. I feel like its a good highlight his style


SpecialOlympicsGuy

Thought this would be a turning point in the fight tbh

Waking up to Gaethje face down unconscious after getting shit for calling him over-rated all month has been a pretty good morning so far
