  28. 1:04left hook off of the
  29. 1:06lit Holloway does a lot of his work with

  39. 1:34he's been susceptible to leg kicks in
  40. 1:35the past particularly against banovski
  41. 1:38but he's made adjustments knowing that
  42. 1:41Justin Gage is one of the best leg
  43. 1:42kickers in the
  44. 1:44sport there we see right away one cap
  45. 1:49kick Max has got to make sure he's
  46. 1:52checking kicks he doesn't want to get
  47. 1:54really limited by the kicking game of
  48. 1:56Justin gatei I have seen Justin gatei
  49. 1:59especially when he first got to the UFC
  50. 2:00and prior in so many fights with leg
  51. 2:03kicks I think that one kick already
  52. 2:05damaged
  53. 2:08him o that left hand is landed twice
  54. 2:11early for
  55. 2:14Holloway you hear Trevor Whitman telling
  56. 2:16Justin not to rush the low leg
  57. 2:20kick nice entry and connection by
  58. 2:24gatei two minutes have gone by in round
  59. 2:27one tension in this arena is palpable
  60. 2:30nice upper cut by Max and the oh good
  61. 2:34left hook by Max he Hur him he heard him
  62. 2:36I love where you keep he stung him with
  63. 2:38that left hand yeah he did he hurt
  64. 2:39Justin with that left
  65. 2:41[Music]
  66. 2:48hook again you can hear Trevor Whitman
  67. 2:50some of you wants gatei to slow things
  68. 2:54down that was a beautiful left hook en
  69. 2:56close by Max Holloway
  70. 3:00and if you know Max Holloway he will not
  71. 3:02go crazy if he thinks he has someone
  72. 3:04hurt he will take his time and try to
  73. 3:06find the shot without putting himself in
  74. 3:08danger well the beautiful thing is that
  75. 3:10this is five rounds so they have time to
  76. 3:12implement their strategy find their
  77. 3:15openings nice ride to the body by
  78. 3:18Max gatei was hoping his leg kicks and
  79. 3:21his power could force some tactical
  80. 3:23changes out of Hall away as this fight
  81. 3:25went
  82. 3:28on kn crowd getting behind Holloway
  83. 3:31[Applause]
  84. 3:35early Holloway just touching that lead
  85. 3:37leg of gatei a little slip there by
  86. 3:40Justin gatei still trying to build his
  87. 3:42read you see him still taking his time
  88. 3:44trying to figure out how he wants to
  89. 3:46approach Max Holloway right
  90. 3:55[Music]
  91. 3:57now baby I back to face
  92. 4:04and if you recall the first time
  93. 4:07Holloway was at 155 at this point Dustin
  94. 4:10porier had already started to kind of
  95. 4:11have his way with him he looks much more
  96. 4:14comfortable right now in his second
  97. 4:15attempt to fight at lightweight well he
  98. 4:17looks a lot bigger yes he does naturally
  99. 4:19bigger not fat he said he said his
  100. 4:22manager called him Muffin Top Max in the
  101. 4:23fight against Dustin because he had just
  102. 4:25went down the weight in four weeks he
  103. 4:28said this time he had time and and he
  104. 4:29feels like a real
  105. 4:34lightweight Whitman still telling G you
  106. 4:37just keep your Rhythm find those kicks
  107. 4:39don't rush anything oh good right hand
  108. 4:42by
  109. 4:43[Applause]
  110. 4:45Max that's a right hand that lands for
  111. 4:47gatei now Holloway retreats in
  112. 4:55circles Holloway definitely in check
  113. 4:57mode when it comes to these leg kicks
  114. 4:59but gaies are already done some
  115. 5:00appreciable
  116. 5:16[Music]
  117. 5:18[Applause]
  118. 5:24damage
  119. 5:25oh nice spinning kick to the body late
  120. 5:29round one this corner can in the face
  121. 5:32caught him on the nose is brought to by

  129. 5:45me you're controlling the whole freaking
  130. 5:48fight don't start making mistakes I
  131. 5:51think he broke his nose yeah I think so
  132. 5:54let's take a look at it
  133. 5:57here oh yeah oh yeah right on the nose
  134. 6:00oh right with the heel yep with the heel
  135. 6:02right on the
  136. 6:05face you see him kind of ajust that like
  137. 6:08he's touching the nose like oh and
  138. 6:10Justin has had nose problems before so
  139. 6:13he recognizes it he had no surgery badly
  140. 6:16deviated septum for most of his career
  141. 6:18his nose completely blocked forced to
  142. 6:20breathe out of his
  143. 6:23mouth the unauthorized reproduction or
  144. 6:26distribution of this copyright work is
  145. 6:28illegal and punishable under law his
  146. 6:31nose is bothering him a lot he keeps
  147. 6:32touching it there's no doubt looked like
  148. 6:34he tried to verbalize something to
  149. 6:36Trevor wh there again keeps he keeps
  150. 6:38blowing out of it yeah you can't do that
  151. 6:39it it'll force your eyes to swell up he
  152. 6:42said to Trevor Whitman my nose is
  153. 6:44completely blocked so a huge moment for
  154. 6:48Holloway potentially late in round one
  155. 6:50and that is just one of the things right
  156. 6:52you start talking to these people that
  157. 6:54watch fights and which you don't realize
  158. 6:55and respect is that everything can
  159. 6:57change in one moment it's such a game of
  160. 7:00inches when it comes to mixed martial
  161. 7:02arts literally the last seconds of the
  162. 7:05round it looks like that nose is
  163. 7:06destroyed and the blood's just flowing
  164. 7:09now out of the nose of Gau and his mouth
  165. 7:11is wide open he's having a hard time
  166. 7:13breathing out of it he keeps touching it
  167. 7:15it's really bothering and Max remaining
  168. 7:17measure Dean Thomas what do you have sir
  169. 7:19yeah despite uh the kick to the nose I
  170. 7:22really like the work that Max is doing
  171. 7:24with that right hand he is he's gone to
  172. 7:26the body with it he's been throwing it
  173. 7:27as an uppercut he's been throwing it as
  174. 7:29a straight and as this fight progresses
  175. 7:31if he can keep continue the variety of
  176. 7:32that right hand he's going to really do
  177. 7:34a lot of damage to gatei well he's he's
  178. 7:36throwing that right hand to the body to
  179. 7:38start to get the hands to start to come
  180. 7:40down Holloway is a very good strategist
  181. 7:44when it comes to building his fight
  182. 7:46plan and right now I mean it could not
  183. 7:48have gone any better in round one for
  184. 7:50Max Holloway caught him in a hard locked
  185. 7:53hook hit him with a couple of good right
  186. 7:54hands and then that spinning back kick
  187. 7:56to the face was absolutely huge
  188. 8:00and it was a pretty measured round and
  189. 8:02now look at all the damage on the face
  190. 8:03of Justin
  191. 8:05gate Holloway's already landed 11 leg
  192. 8:08kicks in his own right committed to that
  193. 8:10weapon tonight even just touching that
  194. 8:12lead limit
  195. 8:18ging oh oh look for a big elbow there
  196. 8:22oh is that an eye

  206. 9:00and Justin gatu will fight there's no
  207. 9:03doubt I was just going to say right even
  208. 9:04if he can't see he'll tell you he can
  209. 9:07there are a lot of other guys on this
  210. 9:08roster that will check out here not at

  212. 9:15guy all right just over three minutes
  213. 9:18here in round two of a possible five BMF
  214. 9:20Championship on the line
  215. 9:30keep that
  216. 9:33press Holloway just looked completely
  217. 9:35locked in from the moment he hit that
  218. 9:37tunnel tonight and really all week no
  219. 9:41major weight cut in advance of this one
  220. 9:43per
  221. 9:44[Applause]
  222. 9:46se and you know you speak to Max and
  223. 9:51being at a position in his career right
  224. 9:52now where V the champ he's looking for
  225. 9:54something big something that will Propel
  226. 9:56him back into the title contention
  227. 9:57because he said if he wins this fight
  228. 9:59he's going back down to fight to for you
  229. 10:01but how about Justin gatei taking this
  230. 10:03knowing he was potentially the number
  231. 10:05one Contender right right when you're
  232. 10:07talking about people that just love to
  233. 10:08fight you are speaking of these two
  234. 10:12athletes Gate's cardio is outstanding
  235. 10:16you wonder the extent to which this nose
  236. 10:18and breathing pattern could compromise
  237. 10:20that or just not seeing the offense that
  238. 10:23we've come to expect well it's going to
  239. 10:26certainly have an effect on his ability
  240. 10:28to take shots nice leg kick beautiful

  248. 10:51poke and
  249. 10:53Holloway oh no certainly giv gatei the
  250. 10:55benefit of the doubt stopped advancing
  251. 10:58oh no that's the other eye now oh my
  252. 11:01goodness he said he's good
  253. 11:04good Max listen I know oh man the Thum I
  254. 11:08know I know it's hard I know it's
  255. 11:10accidental please just take this warning
  256. 11:12please try and keep them closed right
  257. 11:14ready thank you oh my God one in each
  258. 11:19eye coach Dean Thomas before that second
  259. 11:22eye poke what did you have good man I'm
  260. 11:24also thinking about the nose of Justin
  261. 11:26gatei the fact that he can't breathe out
  262. 11:28of his nose means he's going to have to
  263. 11:29keep his mouth open a good right hand to
  264. 11:32that jaw could be the end of the fight
  265. 11:34for him so that also compromises him
  266. 11:36just with that nose
  267. 11:37injury DC that warning from Mark Goddard
  268. 11:40would seem to suggest one more is going
  269. 11:42to be a point deduction yeah yeah Mark
  270. 11:43was the way he was saying he was almost
  271. 11:45pleading with him like please don't make
  272. 11:47me get involved in this fight
  273. 11:51yeah you hear Trevor Whitman yelling
  274. 11:53keep the
  275. 11:56pressure it's a very stark contrast from
  276. 11:58what you heard wrong one before he was
  277. 11:59saying take your time take your time I
  278. 12:01think he recognizes that his fighter or
  279. 12:04his
  280. 12:05athlete is injured beautiful low kick
  281. 12:08kick hard low kick look at this rolling
  282. 12:11on Max's leg now that was a bad

  321. 13:58famous not that's
  322. 14:04right all right round three is upon us
  323. 14:06Max Holloway and Justin gatei for the
  324. 14:09BMF
  325. 14:12title Holloway looks fresh man not
  326. 14:15breathing heavy the only thing is the
  327. 14:18leg damage it looks like Justin landed
  328. 14:19quite a few of those leg kicks and
  329. 14:21another one right there but he's still
  330. 14:22moving Rel he's still moving pretty well
  331. 14:24on his legs well he did even in the vul
  332. 14:26fight where his leg really got chewed up
  333. 14:29I mean he just ignores the pain but it's
  334. 14:31going to compromise his
  335. 14:38movement nice body attack there by gatei
  336. 14:42the corner did really good job of
  337. 14:43getting the blood stop from the nose of
  338. 14:46gatei yeah seems much better this round
  339. 14:48than it was last
  340. 14:51round yeah probably 20 times in round
  341. 14:53two he had to instead of maybe throwing
  342. 14:56a jab or a strike take the hand to the
  343. 14:58nose so you're right about about that
  344. 15:05DC it's a different look in Gage's eyes
  345. 15:08now as
  346. 15:14[Applause]
  347. 15:18well Holloway has landed 54 significant
  348. 15:21strikes to Gate's 23
  349. 15:27[Applause]
  350. 15:29good left hook by Hollow
  351. 15:31there and I think the difference in the
  352. 15:33strikes is the activity because Justin
  353. 15:36really hasn't figured yet how to get at
  354. 15:38Hollow hollow's fighting such a good
  355. 15:40fight he's given him so many different
  356. 15:41looks that outside of the leg kick
  357. 15:43Justin's having a very difficult
  358. 15:45time finding
  359. 15:48Max Dustin porier fought both of these
  360. 15:50guys twice he is acknowledging Max's
  361. 15:54crispness Midway through this fight
  362. 15:59and Dustin did like Max's chances for
  363. 16:01whatever it's worth coming into this
  364. 16:02match up a nice left hook there by
  365. 16:05Justin gatei you know CH sunon spoke to
  366. 16:09about this when talking about this fight
  367. 16:12he said you know while the odds makers
  368. 16:16have wow right hand bollow
  369. 16:20oh he said Fighters are picking
  370. 16:23match and you see
  371. 16:26why oh
  372. 16:30H looks so sharp G got tagged
  373. 16:33immediately started throwing offense
  374. 16:34back a jab hard low kick look at that
  375. 16:37leg of Max it's busted
  376. 16:39[Applause]
  377. 16:46up Max is such a tough guy though he
  378. 16:49ignores
  379. 16:50it really
  380. 16:52does and again he did in the bulk fight
  381. 16:55but I mean look at the welting on that
  382. 16:56left C I mean we saw what vul did to him
  383. 16:59in that last fight and he was still
  384. 17:01pressing in trying to win the fight Max
  385. 17:03Holloway no matter the pain will not
  386. 17:05give up on the idea of what he's trying
  387. 17:06to do and tonight I don't know if I've
  388. 17:08ever seen him look better oh another SP
  389. 17:11back kick heel right to the body oh he
  390. 17:15stung him
  391. 17:16again gatei still valiantly pressing
  392. 17:19forward but he's eating a lot of good
  393. 17:21shots from Holloway here round three
  394. 17:29keep press keep pressure keep

  439. 19:35when you hit him in the chest cuz you
  440. 19:36put him on his heels okay and when he's

  454. 20:20underway
  455. 20:26[Applause]
  456. 20:29right
  457. 20:30back pressure continues to be the
  458. 20:32buzzword out of Trevor
  459. 20:34Whitman that's what I
  460. 20:38like if gatei can get Hollow going
  461. 20:40backwards maybe he'll have more success
  462. 20:42finding that leg kick to because to this
  463. 20:46point this has been his best weapon but
  464. 20:49Holloway is showing no signs of slowing
  465. 20:51down and Hollow continues to go to the
  466. 20:54body with that right hand good left kick
  467. 20:56to the body there
  468. 21:08[Applause]
  469. 21:10Mingo good sequence there for gate about
  470. 21:12a minut on by round four Holloway
  471. 21:16remains committed to the
  472. 21:17body you see all these scores saying Max
  473. 21:20is up 3-0 but if there's ever a guy with
  474. 21:23a busted nose oh
  475. 21:26yeah that can pull a rabbit out of his
  476. 21:28head is Justin gate man this guy will
  477. 21:31not quit on
  478. 21:32himself but Max is fighting very very
  479. 21:36smart
  480. 21:37tonight pretty useful right hand landed
  481. 21:40for gatei a moment ago gaii nice jab by
  482. 21:43gaii putting on the gaii putting on the
  483. 21:46pressure
  484. 21:48[Applause]
  485. 21:51oh that's two to three times now
  486. 21:54Holloway has hurt him and he hasn't
  487. 21:56pressed he sees that he's got another
  488. 21:59one and he backs
  489. 22:00up oh beautiful jab oh my
  490. 22:12goodness those are
  491. 22:16[Applause]
  492. 22:22blocked beautiful low
  493. 22:24kick well that left leg is grotesque
  494. 22:29and yet n limp yeah barely barely
  495. 22:32showing any
  496. 22:33effects Max is faster than Justin it's
  497. 22:37very evident because when they go into
  498. 22:39these extended combinations Hollow is
  499. 22:41able to get his shots off and then
  500. 22:43evade and he's making JG Miss with those
  501. 22:47big hooks that's what Justin needs to do
  502. 22:50Justin needs to fight behind his jab a
  503. 22:52little more to try to set Hollow up that
  504. 22:55one hurt
  505. 23:06uppercut up to partially land for
  506. 23:11[Applause]
  507. 23:16Holloway good right hand by Hollow matx
  508. 23:20just rolls so well with that right hand
  509. 23:22of G when acknowledged as much another
  510. 23:25strong low kick by gaii and Al they're
  511. 23:28nice knee to the body by Max although
  512. 23:31they're Landing Max is not limping I
  513. 23:34mean it's got to be painful as hell but
  514. 23:36he's not showing any negative
  515. 23:39effects and now you yes Max is doing a
  516. 23:42really good job of not showing great
  517. 23:45poker face and still being active and
  518. 23:47sharp getting his punches to the Target
  519. 23:50G is landing him more frequently now and
  520. 23:53they will have to start paying dividends
  521. 23:55Trevor Whitman's telling Justin right
  522. 23:57now he's very happy with what he
  523. 23:59seeing Oh
  524. 24:01beautiful knock down for Dei with a
  525. 24:04right hand oh oh Max is in

  532. 24:26yeah there's that jab
  533. 24:31DC Hall's too good at creating angles if
  534. 24:34you don't fight behind a
  535. 24:38[Applause]
  536. 24:42jab and there's Whitman calling for him
  537. 24:45to stay committed to that jab 30 seconds
  538. 24:46in the round body kick lands for gaii
  539. 24:51[Applause]
  540. 25:04much better round for Justin
  541. 25:07Gage yeah he might have been out landed
  542. 25:09but he had the
  543. 25:11knockdown another right
  544. 25:13hand they both hurt each other that
  545. 25:15round remember Max Hur him early he
  546. 25:18didn't go down though he stunned him but

  621. 29:00we have crossed the midpoint of this
  622. 29:02Fifth and Final Round Holloway drops
  623. 29:05down lands a right hand I mean I don't
  624. 29:07know that Max Hollow has ever look
  625. 29:08better and we're talking about a guy
  626. 29:10that defended the FWE Championship
  627. 29:12multiple times I believe this is the
  628. 29:14toughest opponent he's ever fought and
  629. 29:16he's fighting his best fight right now
  630. 29:19other than that virtuoso performance
  631. 29:21against Calvin Kar oh yeah yeah oh yeah
  632. 29:23I forgot about that one but not at this
  633. 29:25level but it wasn't that level right
  634. 29:26Calvin kar's not Justin Gage
  635. 29:28[Applause]
  636. 29:30Justin
  637. 29:31gatei Beat I mean another right hand
  638. 29:36yeah I think at this point gatei has to
  639. 29:38kind of empty the gas tank here go back
  640. 29:41to the guy that fought Michael Johnson
  641. 29:43and just be a bit
  642. 29:44Reckless but I think he's been hurt so
  643. 29:46many times particularly in this round I
  644. 29:48don't know if he has that in him oh he's
  645. 29:50got it it's there yeah but if he does he
  646. 29:53risk getting cracked
  647. 29:55again he could be still hurt
  648. 29:58yeah Whitman just said get your legs
  649. 30:00back under 90 seconds to the side the
  650. 30:02BMF
  651. 30:04championship and man this would open up
  652. 30:06a world of possibilities for Max
  653. 30:08Holloway if he could win oh you saw
  654. 30:11right hand to the body left hand up top
