Famed American mixed martial arts veteran and former UFC champion in two weight classes Randy Couture named two of the most notable knockouts in mixed martial arts history.
Former interim UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje has admitted that he dreams of a rematch with former lower division titleholder Max Holloway.
"A dream fight? It's hard to imagine me fighting someone from another era. I've already faced most of the people I want to face - Donald Cerrone, Edson Barboza, Eddie Alvarez, Dustin Porier and Holloway. I'd love to meet Max one more time.
Although that might be all because this fight was recent. I always want to get even for the last defeat. Puryear beat me and I was able to get a rematch. That's great, it doesn't happen very often in our business. I was shocked when I knocked him out. You never know how things are going to work out. You throw out different punches, try all sorts of things - something sometimes goes away," - quotes Gatji MMA Fighting.
Recall that on April 13 at UFC 300 Gatji lost to Holloway by knockout at the last second of the fight.
Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira revealed why former interim belt holder Justin Gaethje won't be his next opponent.
Famed American veteran Daniel Cormier has expressed his opinion that one spirited win will put Justin Gaethje back among the top contenders for a title fight in the UFC's lightweight division.
"Dustin Porier used to say, 'I'm always one classy win away from a title fight.' He steps into the octagon, knocks out Benoit St. Denis, Islam Makhachev doesn't have an opponent ... Bam! And Porier takes that spot! I think Gaethje is in the same situation. He's one beautiful win away from a title shot," Cormier said on ESPN MMA.
Recall that on April 13 at the UFC 300 anniversary event in Las Vegas, USA, Gaethje lost to Max Holloway by knockout in the last minute of the fight.
Max Holloway, former UFC featherweight champion, admitted to being knocked out in his fight against Justin Gaethje.
"That moment didn't count as a knockdown, that's crazy. ESPN thinks no one has dropped me so far. That's bullshit - Gaethje deserved that accomplishment. I wouldn't be me if I didn't admit that Gatji sat me on my ass. I remember being on the floor and thinking, "What did he hit me with? Fucking hell of a punch." I managed to get up, but my legs gave out at the moment of impact. So now I don't even know what counts as a knockdown," said Holloway in the podcast Joe Rogan.
Recall, Holloway beat Gaethje by knockout at the last second of the last round.
