The third-ever BMF title fight might have been the greatest edition yet as Max “Blessed” Holloway and Justin “The Highlight” Gaethje went toe-to-toe for 24 minutes and 59 seconds before delivering a raucous ending worthy of the moniker.
Holloway got off to the better start in a measured first round despite receiving heavy leg kicks from Gaethje. At the end of the first, Holloway threw a spinning back kick, which landed on the face of the ducking Gaethje, likely breaking the BMF champion’s nose. Holloway remained in command for much of the next few rounds, but Gaethje gained some traction in the third and fourth.
