Joe Rogan calls Max Holloway the ‘Baddest’

At UFC 300, fans witnessed an ͏extraor͏dinary clash between Max Holl͏oway and Justin Gaethje for the BMF belt. ͏Hol͏loway shocked the entire world when he defeat͏ed Ga͏ethje to claim the ‘BMF’ belt. Interestingly, he not only defeated but also knocked out the former champion with just one second to go. Holloway was the star of the night, and his victory caught the attention of everyone in the MMA industry.

Just days after the successful event, Joe Rogan invited the star to his podcast to have a conversation about his fight and MMA in general. Nonetheless, the podcast was a success as it garnered a ton of views from the MMA community. After the episode, Rogan took time from his busy schedule to add an Instagram post about Holloway.

“One of the baddest motherfuckers to ever walk the face of the earth, and one of the coolest dudes as well! The great and powerful @blessedmma” wrote Joe Rogan. The 56-year-old podcaster jumped from his seat when he witnessed Holloway knocking out Gaethje at the final second, however, Holloway added that Gaethje dropped him first.

Max Holloway explains how he was dropped by Justin Gaethje

Holloway and Gaethje’s fight was a neck-to-neck fight, however, ‘Blessed’ made it one-sided with his proper technique but there was an instance in the match where people thought ‘Blessed’ was in a rough position. Holloway was dropped down by Gaethje in the fourth round which made it a little bit difficult for ‘Blessed.’

Joe Rogan in his conversation asked Holloway about the knockdown and added what did he think about this. Responding to this question, Holloway said, “It didn’t count as a drop, which is crazy,” said Holloway. He further added, “Bro, all I remember is getting hit by that punch, and then, like I sat, I came back up and I was like, what the f*** did he just do to me? I was like ‘holy sh***’ that was a good punch… I was fine as soon as I got up… But I don’t know how that didn’t count as a drop”

With the win against Gaethje, Holloway has just opened new doors of opportunities for himself. He has multiple fights he can take, but which one will be his choice, only time has the answer.
