Joe Rogan reacts to Max Holloway's 'greatest knockout of all time'

Joe Rogan has boldly claimed that Max Holloway's knockout of Justin Gaethje is the greatest the UFC has ever seen.

Rogan has been present for almost every significant moment inside the octagon since making his commentary debut back in 1997. He has seen it all during his long tenure, but he believes that no knockout exceeds the one he witnessed at UFC 300.

Shortly after seeing Justin Gaethje hit the canvas followed by the fans erupting in support of Max Holloway, Joe Rogan shared his views on the finish.

"That's the greatest knockout of all time," Rogan said during the UFC 300 broadcast. "With so many people counting him out, with so many people thinking he was outgunned, with so many people thinking he wouldn’t have a chance against the firepower of Justin Gaethje."

"The fact that he called for that with 10 seconds left in the fight and put the lights out on one of the most dangerous men to ever fight in the sport."

"The fact that he did it this way, too, that he pointed to the center of the octagon, pointed to the floor and said, 'Let's throw down right here' and then sleeps Justin Gaethje with one punch. In a fight where a lot of people thought he was gonna get outgunned. Where a lot of people thought he was going to get hurt."

Max Holloway silenced a lot of critics who continued to doubt his chances at the heavier weight division. 'Blessed' fought at lightweight just one time before UFC 300, losing a one-sided decision to Dustin Poirier five years ago.

Holloway now has a number of options at his disposal following his showcase against fan favorite Justin Gaethje. Joe Rogan immediately praise on the Hawaiin in the aftermath of the promotions iconic pay-per-view card.

"He looked so good. But it’s all about giving Max the time to prepare for lightweight. He looked thicker, he looked denser, he put muscle on, and he prepared for a terrifying fighter. And he knew what he was going in against, and that’s what a guy like Max Holloway needs with all these years in the game."

"We’ve got to remember [that] Max Holloway is 32, but he was in here at 20 years old. And he needs something like that for us to see how great he truly is."

"Listen, Max Holloway is one of the greatest, if not the greatest featherweight of all time. And what you saw is that he’s one of the greatest fighters of all time, period. And he’s still 32. I think a lot of people forgot that."
