When all is said and done, Max Holloway will likely go down as the star of stars at the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s 300th event.
The Hawaiian star earned a whopping $600,000 in bonus money for his efforts at UFC 300 in a BMF title bout against Justin Gaethje at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Not only did Holloway earn $300,000 for “Performance of the Night,” but he received another $300,000 for sharing “Fight of the Night” honors with Gaethje. The fight ended in the most memorable fashion possible, as Holloway and Gaethje traded blows in the waning seconds of the fifth round until “Blessed” rendered his opponent unconscious at the 4:59 mark, tying it for the latest finish in a five-round fight in UFC history.
