"We all knew this fight was going to be great, we all knew these two were going to put on a show, but what we didn't know was that Max Holloway would look so dominant and be so confident in controlling the fight with Justin Gaethje.
You know, fighters, athletes, we all chase moments. And those moments mean even more when you have the right man standing across from you. Justin's toughness was on full display tonight, but Max Holloway, the lightweight version of him, Max Holloway, who has the most suitable weight on him, showed that with his skill set, he's incredibly tough. He went out and beat the number one contender," Cormier said on his YouTube channel.
Recall that Holloway defeated Gaethje by knockout in the fifth round at UFC 300 on April 13.
