Max Holloway has carved out a unique niche in the UFC. He’s the guy who points to the canvas and invites his opponents to throw down in the final seconds. It’s become his signature move, and honestly, it takes some serious confidence to pull off something like that. Most fighters would just coast to the finish line, but Holloway thrives on creating those jaw dropping moments that get people talking for months afterward.<\/p>
The Hawaiian fighter turned this risky strategy into pure gold at UFC 300 when he knocked out Justin Gaethje with literally one second left on the clock. He was already cruising to an easy decision win, but instead of playing it safe, he pointed down and invited Gaethje to bang it out. The result was one of the most memorable knockouts in recent UFC history, with Gaethje crashing face first to the canvas as the horn sounded. That moment didn’t just win him the fight. It made him the most talked about fighter on one of the biggest cards of all time. Now he prepares to fight Dustin Poirier at UFC<\/a> 318 and he is not sure if the point down will be his doing!<\/p> Holloway is already thinking about whether he will pull the same move again. He thinks Poirier might actually beat him to it this time. During a recent interview via MMA Fighting<\/strong>, Holloway admitted he wouldn’t be surprised if Poirier initiated the point down moment himself, especially since this is his retirement fight. <\/p> “With Dustin, he’s a point down guy, too. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he started it, if he initiated it. At the end of the day, I mean you’ve got to. If we get to the fifth round with the 10 seconds left, I think he might beat me to it and point down first. For sure, I’m going to happily accept that any day of the week.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>Max Holloway Reveals Dustin Poirier Might Beat Him To The Point Down<\/h2>
